Opportunity Lies in that Space Between Order and Chaos

When we find ourselves in the space between order and chaos, opportunity exists.

For example when the protesters started their tiki-torch racist march in Charlottesville, there was order. Most knew chaos was inevitable. The space between that order and the eventual chaos provided an opportunity. Good leaders may have spoken up right then.

Right now there is space between the chaos that racism and hatred presents and the order that exists in so many good organizations and institutions presents an opportunity for betterment.

Hosting Conversations demonstrates the chaordic field, a place that sits between order and chaos and a place where creativity and innovation emerges if we let it.

How can we apply this knowledge to our current situation in the United States, and how can we apply this knowledge to our own places of work and living. How can we maximize the opportunity that exists between order and chaos--what can we do?
