I Need HELP

John Winn

   Beginning October 8, 2009, I will be leading four consecutive weekly teleconferences on the subject:

GETTING A STUCK SYSTEM UN-STUCK

 Well, what I need help with is how DO you get a stuck system un-stuck!  So, I thought it would be appropriate to call on my 3M Colleagues to share some ideas.  Now, I have read all that Friedman stuff about it taking an "ADVENTURE" and I BELIEVE it.  But how does that happen?  How can that be spelled-out?  Do you just conjure up an ADVENTURE?  Maybe you have had such an adventure and would be willing to share the story.  Maybe you know all kind of ways to get a stuck system un-stuck.  Share them with me.

   And while you are thinking about it what is the difference between being "stuck" and simply "waiting;"  as in, "waiting upon the Lord?"  And whom does it all start with: Them or Me?

   You can see I need help.  At any rate, I thought this would be a great way for the 3M Network to Network!  Random thoughts and incomplete sentences are welcome.  Prayers, too.  You can easily "Create a Post" just below this and we can all share in it. 

Thanks, John
