21 Principles for engaging the right people, from the right questions, at the right time

To go far, go together; to go fast, go deep

People support what they co-create

People don’t resisting change; they resist being changed

No one wants to be told what to think, feel, do, have, or give

More ideas and questions lead to better ideas and questions

Discussion has the power to sustain business as usual

The way out is in

Groups move in the direction of their questions at the speed of trust

The right people always show up

Politics are our relationships to power; every act is a political act

What happens is the only thing that could have happened

People do what they do based on what they know at the time

Anything can be an experiment

We always have what we need to do the doable

What we know got us here; what we don’t know can take us somewhere else

Both-and and uncertainties are larger possibility spaces than either-or and certainties

We don’t have to be better to do differently; we’re fine just the way we are

All transformation is linguistic

The future we have together is the future we create together

What we can do together no one can do alone

New futures become possible with the right questions at the right time
