We became a single intelligence - Joseph Jaworski (Part 1)
From Liberation Of Facilitation · 00:29:49
Show by Zeeger Scholten
Joseph Jaworski wrote Synchronicity, the book that put words to something a lot of us have felt in a room and could not explain. It was also the first leadership book I ever read, so this one was a while in the making.At 18 he ran towards a tornado that had just flattened most of Waco, Texas. He worked through that night with five strangers, and he says they hardly had to speak to each other. It took him years, and a conversation with the physicist David Bohm, to understand what had actually happened to them. He spent the rest of his life trying to recreate it on purpose, without the disaster attached.We talk about what that looks like in ordinary places: in a courtroom, where he won cases he was not supposed to win, and in the moment his father handed him a Watergate transcript in a field, which ended his legal career.This is part 1 of two. It covers how Joseph became the person who could ask these questions. Part 2 follows later, and goes into where Theory U came from.A conversation about where a life's work comes from, and what opens up when the boundaries between people fall away.
