The power and beauty of emergence is so moving when it happens that it becomes something to cherish and believe in. Teams who see emergence occur create a kind of faith that something great will emerge, if only they believe it will happen and share fully and openly in the process of coaxing it forth. Once a team has seen the beauty of collaborative, emergent ideas arising, they are powerfully motivated to relax their personal agendas in deference to the force of the collaborative. Breaking the negative self-fulfilling prophecy has to start somewhere, and that somewhere starts with you.
