<< I experience the two as levels in an organization (or a person). At the core where deep purpose abides change is very slow. On the surface, especialy in these times, change is almost continuous and the capacity for change is a survival requirement. I think that the capacity to sustain continuous change may lie in connectedness to the core. And to the ability to articulate deep purpose, to live it, and to others through it. So seen in this light the capacity to change may be intimately linked to clarity about the core, that which abides. The deep purpose that is relatively uneffected by the changes on the surface. >> This is interesting. I have just read the book "Leading Change: The argument for Values-Based Leadership" by James O'Toole in which he says much the same thing. Good book. Cathy
