Zander discusses the need for possibility thinking throughout this book, and these concluding chapters have pounded home a very significant change in thinking to make this happen. Imagining the world as a collective of equals in order to consider all of us as the WE, gives new meaning to possibilities. From the training I received in sales, "make them want what you have," is the antithesis of being about what is best for the collective "We." Yet in education, autonomous authoritarian models of teaching have given way to empowering, guiding, facilitators. This paradigm shift fits perfectly with Zander's point that we must consider the others within our realm as equal and even greater than ourselves. this book should be required reading for all who strive to teach our next generation, because it is what dries them to excellence, to be valued and encouraged to participate in directing and creating their learning.
