By “space,” I don’t mean literally more square feet in our offices (though that might help). I mean mental and emotional space—“bandwidth,” to use the Internet metaphor: the capacity to see, feel, hear, and reflect on what is in front of us and what is inside of us. When we have that space, we can deal with even an urgent problem in a calm, creative, and humane way, rather than have an expedient reaction to the pressure.
