Replying to LO15201 --

Thanks to Benjamin B. Compton for his courageous discussion of the impact
that our family of origin has on our ability to embrace the disciplines of
the learning organization - especially personal mastery. I come from a
similar background. It was about 15 years ago that I got the help that he
describes having gotten.

I lead a team of about 90 people where we are diligently seeking to
mastery the lo disciplines - and inevitably, I find that many people with
unresolved family of origin issues find authentic dialogue extremely
difficult. It seems that dialogue requires a certain amount of courage,
self-confidence, and trust. All of those attributes were missing in my
life until I got some specific help with my family of origin issues.

So, what does all that mean? If you have people in your organization with
unresolved family of origin issues, can you not create a learning
organization? How are others out there dealing with this issue?
