It is so easy to think in terms of the individual as if this mythic man or woman was battling the system. it is the clasic cowboy movie theme. And a powerful theme for those of us who grew up in America. It is romantic, heroic, and usually wrong. I think it is healthier to look at the individual as apart of the system. So instead of looking at Burt's performance problems, we look at the system he operates in. Suddenly we see Burt's performance for what it is and we can better judge where the problems come from and whetre the solutions might lie. And with this wide-angle lens it allows us to see Burt's contribution to the problem in perspective. Thanks for talking about the systems we live and work in.
