The Culture of Love and Complex Problem Solving
Dave Pollard has a great blog post up that made me think of my rantings about the Culture of Love. How to Save the World: "What has, in my experience, led to the creation of extraordinary natural enterprises is a fortunate synchronicity of a group of people with complementary gifts who love each other (no I do not think 'love' is too strong a word) and who have learned something new on a subject about which they had no preconceptions at a time when they had the energy and predisposition and resources to do something about it. People who love each other are more willing to be open to new ideas, more willing to 'let go' and 'let come' and to persevere past the inevitable hurdles in new enterprise creation and operation."
In my experience, Dave nailed the two most important things. Love and letting go. An interesting combination.
If you read on in this interesting post, Dave suggests, with an image, a process for complex problem solving. The one thing I wonder about is researching before you identify the problem. I think research actually shows up a couple of times. I think research, or too much research up front, also can set up blinders because we can use our preconceptions to guide our research.
Traps of habit are hard to break.

My expeience is that the more my heart is open, the more people trust me. They feel the lack of an agenda and the openess. With trust, problems get solved more quickly.
We are so oriented to the mind that we often neglect the power of the heart.
Great post!
