Quote
"Department workers do not want to sit and wait for
assignments, but rather do their own marketing. They do
not wish to be waiting for food, like a nest of young
birds, their hungry beaks wide open, waiting for a
worm."
Paul Stork, director of Fabrique, Inc.,
is happy to see how SCM stirred his workers to more
independence. See the article Out of the Jumble
in this newsletter.

Issue
2, December 2008
Getting the work done – it's an expression we
often hear. But in order to get work done, it must get
organized. When the common aim of an initiative is
clearly formulated, when the issues of a hierarchy
amongst friends working together are settled, when it is
clear who is responsible for what, then the work can get
done more smoothly, at faster pace and with more profit.
The Sociocratic Circle-organization Method (SCM) can
help with all this. Read the inspiring experiences in
this issue. And then: let's get cracking in your own
setting!
