John Engle gets covered
My buddy John Engle had a nice piece written about him in the Hershey Chronicle, his hometown newspaper. It describes his work in Haiti over the years, using Open Space Technology to facilitate transformative learning and leadership. From the article:
“Good leadership is learning how to graciously share power,” Engle said. “We’re practicing different methods in Haiti that help people share power. It could be in a classroom, it could be community leaders. These are grassroots strategies for nurturing habits and practices which will enable democracy to take root. Democracy cannot be imposed from outside. It needs to grow from within.”
See why I love this guy? John has some more great nuggets on leadership from his Haitian colleagues at his blog.
