Seeing Systems - Barry Oshry

Meeting with a client last week for an executive coaching session, it was rewarding to have my client use a quote from a publication I mentioned to him several years ago, i.e. Seeing Sytems, by Barry Oshry. I think this book is an excellent 'primer' for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of change. Here's the quote:

There is no "We,"
There is no "Them,"
There is only You
and Me
and all of Us
And then the Dance begins

I'm involved in quite a few 'Dances' at the present. How do we 'see' the dances when we are in them?

"We can monitor our own behaviour. We can coach one another. We can take a stand for partnership. We can pay attention to our feelings.
