On meetings – a friend forwarded this from - - Ken Wilber, "A Theory of Everything"
"This noble intent, of course, has its downside. Meetings that are run on [stage 6: post conventional / world-centric / pluralistic / individualistic ] principles tend to follow a similar course: everybody is allowed to express his or her feelings, which often takes hours; there is an almost interminable processing of opinions, often reaching no decision or course of actions, since a specific course of action would likely exclude somebody. Thus there are often calls for an inclusionary, non-marginalizing, compassionate embrace of all views, but exactly how to do this is rarely spelled out, since in reality not all views are of equal merit. The meeting is considered a success, not if a conclusion is reached, but if everybody has a chance to share their feelings. Since no view is supposed to be inherently better than another, no real course of action can be recommended, other than sharing all views. If any statements are made with certainty, it is how oppressive and nasty all the alternative conceptions are."
