Building on the 25 year experience with Open Space Technology (OST), Harrison explores the nature of Leadership and High Performance in a self organizing world. The truth is, OST should not work, but in well over 100,000 instances and 136 countries, groups of people (5-3000) have gathered to successfully deal with large, complex, and conflicted issues. What is remarkable is that there is no advance agenda, and only a single facilitator who never intervenes. Even worse, no one is in charge and yet the requisite leadership appears everywhere as needed. Some have called it magic, but it is only the remarkable power of self organization, a power that we must learn to live with and may learn to ride for our benefit.
