If you are a leader, the people are your work. - Gerald M. Weinberg

Although technology often leads science in discovery, the philosophy of technology is usually drawn from the scientific philosophy of its time. In our time, the technology of machines has drawn its inspiration from mechanics, dealing with complexity by reducing the number of relevant parts. The technology of government, on the other hand, has drawn upon statistical mechanics, creating simplicity by dealing only with people in the structureless mass, as interchangeable units, and taking averages.

In the seed model, Leadership is the process of creating an environment in which people become empowered.

Rather than fight change, a more sensible approach is to learn to live with it. Or to make a living from it.
