Quotes from Peter Block:
“As a leader I want to engage people in conversations with each other where they become cocreators of a future, cocreators of a place, and nobody showed up for that. People came as consumers.”
“Ask people what’s the refusal you’ve been postponing? If you can’t say no your yes means nothing.”
