I’ll be thinking on your question and perhaps revisit the issue later.

It’s so nice to read your words again…how useful & relevant they are!

In my current endeavor, we help change how people work. It is deliberate, how we design their space. Often, there are obstacles that slow or even stop our design methodology. But we know our work and we stay the course…we just stay with it longer until everyone can see it, default isn’t really an option.

Yet in our own environment, I experience the "ills" you mention. On the first day, I could feel the bad vibe. It’s too bad. There are some amazingly talented people here. It’s been a year at this new endeavor and I have made a power goal to change our culture. I can see the change. But, it’s slow, overcoming our passive approach…
