The answer is often “yes,” or “most of the time.” That’s how we have a functioning society, and in case you’re wondering if I’m pointing you towards anarchy, I’ll save you some reading. No.

Great post. Having a clear value system (recognition of laws) is so important and I like to describe it like a Compass. Breaking a rule may be acceptable if you know it’s going to still take you North.

Yes. By all means take time to look around, yet don’t forget to take time to sit quiet & look within. I love that Sean Howard put blank paper and crayons in the hands of execs in the boardroom. For those who are not immersed full time in the twitter/facebook/podcamp etc world of Web2.0/E2.0 yadda yadda…the complexity is starting to look disconnected, chaotic–and therefore unknowable–rather then knowable and capable of categorizing and responding. Don’t just follow a rule/law or crowd Give some thought to what is going on. Consider how it all gives value to yourself…and to others.

Thought-provoking stuff, Chris. It’s always a challenge to see the world through new eyes, but we *must* do this if we ever want to break out of ruts — including the most pernicious ones, the ruts we don’t think to *regard* as ruts.

Many, many organizations suffer from “organosclerosis” precisely because the people in them don’t pull back and reconsider *why* the rules are what they are. WHY do we have weekly staff meetings? WHY must we use the new cover sheets on the T.P.S. reports? WHY do we have quarterly evaluations instead of, say, fortnightly evaluations?

It’s not that every one of these things needs changing, but that every one of them ought to come up for review. Otherwise, how else can we move ahead?

Thanks for your thoughts here.
