Principles rule rather than intimidation or manipulation. People can be their best selves in spite of their worst selves. When anything goes, everything goes. But when accountability is clear, hidden agendas and little mafias do not own the road. Positions become complementary, not adversarial.
People have choices and alternatives individually and corporately.
They are free to work with rather than against, to work for rather than fight about, not to have power over but power with. Accidents still happen because people are not perfect. They don t need to be perfect. The redeeming qualities of mutual respect is what makes the difference. Something new and better is born out of the differences, but not as change for its own sake.
