Sometimes these issues are so complicated (as this one is, I fear) that in the effort to simplify we drop important points... and there are several of those on the floor here by my computer... You make me think also about the differences between 'authenticity' as being 'real/honest' and authenticity as being/ striving for excellence and the best/better we can be. I know that I believe that an 'authentic organization' is one where everyone's humanity is valued, and where diversity (not discrimination) reigns. And I need to think more about how this definition is linked to the more straightforward definition of 'aligning'. thanks for the prompt. cv Hi John,
