Juan Luis -- Your English is basically flawless and infinitely better than my Spanish. However, I feel compelled to chastise you for hiding a truly marvelous story -- ever since 2003!!! What you (briefly) describe here is absolutely fantastic, and if you don't give us the WHOLE story, I will probably hate you for ever :-) -- Not a chance. Seriously, this is exactly the sort of tale that needs to be told. Not just a little bit, but with all the bells and whistles. How did it happen? What were the "ups and downs"? And what's happened since? You have a book here if you care to write it -- and what better way to improve your English? Of forget the "improved English" and just do it in Spanish! But whatever you do -- do not think that you can escape the responsibility for telling the tale. And thanks for a wonderful Christmas present!!!

Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:07 AM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: OST with less than 25 words by the client Here goes one definition that an important public and political figure of Chile, says to the group at the "closing circle" in his first OST event participation: "This method brings us the radicality of democracy to organizations" After that (January 2003), he has sponsored and participated, from the beginning to the end, in about twenty-five OST events, which involves approximately three thousands public officers in two different state institution. His leadership, in the frame of an strategic alliance between the workers and the administration, has been a poem to inspiration and self- organization. The resulting processes and outcomes, are very profound, deeply significant and of multiples benefits in the broad sense of the modernization of public management. I and my colleague, friend and boss Jorge Amigo, has been blessed with the honor and pleasure of "presencing" and co-facilitate that entire wonderful trip. With gratitude to all of you on this list, without whom nothing of this could be possible, sincerely, Juan Luis Walker (I hope that my English don't have fatal errors. Please let me know if that occurs) * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
