I was in an MLK march today. I am all FOR equality for all because then everyone benefits. Being for things that improve the system benefits everyone. Justice for all!

We are all one system and we all must work together to create the best outcome. If one part attempts to take the most, it hurts us all. What is most important is how we all support each other and help each other so we can all be better. It all about how we build, maintain and continually improve relationships. Relationship with each other, with organizations, between organizations, with nature, and so much more.

If one part is not doing their best and not contributing what it can, it hurts everyone. For that reasons we should all work at helping all do all they can, help all reach their potential. MLK Day helps us realize what we can do to enable all of us to work together better. Making sure we all have the ability, capacity and potential to achieve our potential helps all of us do better so the whole system works better.

For instance, higher wages are good, however they must be earned. Pride can only be felt by people when they know the money was earned.

Money follows, it cannot lead.

Money given that was not earned does not create a better outcome for the worker or society, overall its just shifts issues. We all should work toward making life meaningful and valuable.

As Paul Collier explains in his excellent book, The Future of Capitalism, our basic drives are for belongingness and esteem. Building a better world where we all care and help each other and do jobs that improve our world can help everyone thrive by increasing both belongingness and esteem.

Very prophetically W. Edwards Deming declared:

Defend your rights, you lose

By this he was saying that if one just fights to make their part of the system better without understanding how it effects the whole system will be short sighted. I am trying to explain how this relates and this Deming Institute Podcast may help. I encourage you to listen.

This motivates me even more to Practice Paneugenesis because, at its core, paneugenesis helps us build stronger relationships with everyone and everything. I look forward to hearing about how you generate comprehensive improvements by creating pervasive, reciprocal, selfish, selfless, synergistic interactions from which everyone and everything benefits. Make it a Great Week!
