Walk Out Walk On by Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze

Walk Out Walk On by Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze 2011 Berrett-Koehler I have read Meg Wheatley’s work on Leadership but was delighted and inspired by this engrossing work with Deborah Frieze. I have sent the title to many of my friends who are engrossed in the “American Imperialist” manner of world change and “improvement”. The book charts a travel log of five different cultures responding to crisis and shock by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps with only their own resources. Undoing genocidal, political, and agricultural fallout, finding dignity in the process, and sharing the knowledge on are the hallmarks of these pragmatic and yet lyrical communities. I was struck by the lessons these groups have learned – beware the consultants – a lesson our embedded American communities come to grips with everyday. This work resonates within drug addicted and criminal issues communities regarding the insider knowledge and experience that a turn around requires. I’m following these two dynamic authors and change-makers in my daily reading. Thank you Meg and Deborah!
