Now the it was time to implement the strategies for a learning
organization. After months of toil and good work toward creating an
environment where a learning organization could flourish, the manager turn
to the facilitator and said "And now what?"

Well I am reminded of this story.

A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small
boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street.

However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to
reach.

After watching the boys efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to
the boy's position.

He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and,
placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the
doorbell a sold ring.

Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and
asks, "And now what, my little man?"

To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"

Ah, I needed that.
