two radical questions when you’re in the middle
In A Life of Meaning, Jungian therapist James Hollis prompts his readers to ask themselves:
Who am I apart from my history, my roles, my commitments?
and
If I’m not here just to be adapted to the world that I receive, what am I here to serve and what wants to enter the world through me?
These are rather radical questions. If your organization is somewhere in its “messy middle”, they can be useful ones to gnaw on, swapping out “me” and “my” for “us” and “our”. Maybe have some of your culture bearers take a crack at 1-page answers to each.
