We’ve reached a point where we’re shifting from How do I get my employees to do what I want? to How do I create the conditions where the team can make the impact it desires? This is Hannah Arendt’s “inter-est.” The desire of humans to have a seat at the table, a place where they can intersect, create, and produce meaning. This is N. F. S. Grundtvig’s “living word.” Our desire to connect and to speak and be heard, not to simply be told what to do by some authority at a distance.
