== Why? ==

The world is now changing at a rate at which the basic systems, structures, and cultures built over the past century cannot keep up with the demands being placed on them.

58

**We have the opportunity to create a mindset where there is a new sense of optimism, mission accomplishment, and accountability**

59

This will be a dramatic change in both ideas and practice, which will help us meet our immediate goals and better position us to deal with the challenges of the twenty-first century

60

61

**We cannot miss this opportunity.**

It’s possible to build an organization where every worker is monitored at all times, where every job is sliced as thinly as possible, and outsourced to the cheapest possible person. That organization can be centrally controlled, algorithmically managed, and brutal in the way it makes choices. The CEO might earn an hourly wage ten thousand times higher than the average employee.

69

**And it’s also possible to build an organization where each employee is a valued contributor, where work schedules and locations are set with flexibility, and where the decisions are surfaced close to the customer and cycled through the organization. An organization like this might pay people really well, or it might be fully volunteer, where the work itself is the reward.**

70

\\But how? How to teach and how to unindoctrinate, how to change the systems we’ve worked so hard to build for generations?

71

72

**//The answer begins simply with: //we need to choose.**
