(Admittedly, I gave Sounds True a nudge by adding its 20 dogs into the tally. More about the dogs at Sounds True, and why it is not entirely disingenuous to count them in, at the beginning of chapter 2.4.) When relevant, the next few chapters will occasionally also mention remarkable practices from other organizations such as Ozvision, a Japanese Internet company; the Center for Courage & Renewal, an educational nonprofit supporting Parker Palmer’s work with leaders in the field of education, health care, clergy, and business; Realize!, a small Dutch organizational consultancy; Valve, a Seattle based game-software company; and others. |
