Interdependence Is A Higher Value Than Independence

The Role Of The Leader Is To Foster Mutual Respect And Build A Complementary Team Where Each Strength Is Made Productive And Each Weakness Irrelevant.

Nothing Is As Fast As The Speed Of Trust.

We See The World, Not As It Is, But As We Are -- Or, As We Are Conditioned To See It. When We Open Our Mouths To Describe What We See, We In Effect Describe Ourselves, Our Perceptions, Our Paradigms.

Inevitably, Anytime We Are Too Vulnerable We Feel The Need To Protect Ourselves From Further Wounds. So We Resort To Sarcasm, Cutting Humor, Criticism - Anything That Will Keep From Exposing The Tenderness Within. Each Partner Tends To Wait On The Initiative Of The Other For Love, Only To Be Disappointed But Also Confirmed As To The Rightness Of The Accusations Made.

If We Want To Make Relatively Minor Changes In Our Lives, We Can Perhaps Appropriately Focus On Our Attitudes And Behaviors. But If We Want To Make Significant, Quantum Change, We Need To Work On Our Basic Paradigms.
