He advanced the concept into this primer, originally released in 1990, written for those interested in integrating his philosophy into their corporate culture. Shared Vision Mental Models

Chaos Semblance of unity Behaviour ruled by etiquette / habit Particle/body not wave/mind Differences emerge Waves interact chaotically DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS 3. Emptiness 4. Community United spirit Harmony / Acceptance Coherent Group Wave Function Unmasked Differences accepted / valued Wave function collapsed DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS M. Scott Peck The Different Drum

  24. Community Building Guidelines Developing a Sense of Self: wear your name tag and speak your name talk personally and specifically use "I" statements when you speak speak when moved don't speak when not moved take responsibility for your own success hold on through difficulties A Sense of Others' Self: be present listen respectfully value differences include yourself and others, avoid exclusivity be aware of ways in which we may exclude others express any dislikes in the group the power of acceptance respect confidentiality

  25. Great Groups Greatness starts with superb people. Great Groups and great leaders create each other. Every Great Group has a strong leader. Leaders of Great Groups love talent and know where to find it. Great groups are full of talented people who can work together. Great Groups think they are on a mission from God. Every Great Group has an island -- with a bridge to the mainland. Great Groups see themselves as winning underdogs. Great Groups always have an enemy - a Vision and a Goal! People in Great Groups have blinders on. Great Groups are optimistic, not realistic. In Great Groups the right person has the right job Leaders give Great Group what they need, free them from the rest. Great Groups ship. Great work is its own reward.
