Hi Derric,
Have any of you ever heard of Non-Violent Communication (NVC).
NVC is amazing and I very much encourage anyone to take it up. It goes way beyond a method of thinking, it is a spiritual path. Like other spiritual paths that means it may work if you practise it yourself.
Also, there is no need whatsoever for others to practice NVC. If you do it yourself, benifits will follow. While you may inspire others, forcing your spiritual path onto them, or even suggesting they could do so, may trigger very strong reactions.
A growing part of the Agile change management movement is adopting NVC, as it fits very well with techies. Google on NVC+Agile.
Question for Derric: why didn't you formulate your suggestion using NVC?
Greetings, Jan
