This is naturally happening in a series of events, with the freedom to face a question without waiting for an answer, just like a vacuum shot without an echo, this is how a new space appears, with the intention of wanting to hear it…
The origin of the possibility is arbitrary. Where does something come from? What is the place of this new possibility?
Who or who previously occupied that place if that space previously existed? Does the possibility happen in a space? Does it exist before being named? Is it extinguished upon completion? Is it the way to the new? Does it engineer mutations? Can it be thought non-causal?
Too many questions. It is a temptation to consider that possibility is on the margin of evolution, as something irreverent to the causal link, a shortcut that connects to a place that would not have appeared by itself, a pure creation of man linked to his power, that of imagining, design, dream.
It is acceptable to consider possibility as a manifestation linked to human abilities. A skill that goes beyond interpreting something existing to come to imagine the existence of something else. A feeling that is becoming a concept.
What we have been observing is that in the face of a proper state, or rather a favorable one, in the strictly labor framework that is the reason that concerns us, is that in certain contextual circumstances man connects with his task and his usual context of relationship with his team, and he plunges to create in a new space. Then go on to notice first and then design a series of specific actions to build it. And so man creates a possibility, he does it as a consequence of a state, of a context, and then by a different path he begins to elaborate its concretion.
Managing the possibility is to play in favor of it, that it appears, that it is validated, questioned, debated, enriched, depersonalized, appropriated, nurtured, channeled, and originates actions aimed at its realization.
The power to name her freely to give her a breath of life is a human attitude, pouring her out in the middle of a table integrated with people focused on nurturing her with each question, letting her grow autonomously in a shared game that fosters common appropriation, overcoming the individual prominence of its authorship.
It is born with a dependent fragility, without its own heartbeat, only the constant impulse sustains it and, at the slightest carelessness, its deregistration occurs, and it will be as if it never existed.
The possibility that I create, the possibility that I am, the possibility that I sponsor and share, the possibility that I offer, that possibility that I support, is the same and different, while it nurtures it defines its form and matures its independence, develops its attraction, breathes its convening power and suddenly it is released, it takes its own course, it constitutes an offer and with joy it receives the hope of personal fulfillment from others who by serving find its meaning, project their identity, unfold their life, together they constitute a concert that implodes until achieving its essence is followed by reverence, praise, admiration for having happened from such an uncertain origin.
Possibility lives its own cycle to which we have been called several times.
The generative capacity of the people does not need to be summoned, by granting them a certain space it is possible to liberate them, with only that is enough. Allow it to appear without protocols, unexpectedly, at the right moment when it is stimulated, and design mechanisms to take advantage of that contribution.
Space is during. Unlike the processes created to deliberately invoke a state, a whirlwind of ideas, a special setting to encourage a creative approach to a subject, there is the option of allowing and capitalizing on the appearance of the new gaze at every moment.
Without discussing or replacing the contribution generated by deliberately coordinated events for that cause, experience teaches us that the possibility requires complementary spaces to achieve a maturing base that allows its effectiveness.
Usually the forums established to dream an ideal open with a defined theme or at least with a specific scope framework. In this context the same voices are generally heard. For different reasons, mostly the people who participate and propose end up being the same. As the group speaking factor is known to be self-contained, and if the proposal to contribute something new is added, the presence of officials with different hierarchies and the expectation of achieving something productive from all this, the participants face the less to a double challenge, that of looking good and that of contributing something.
It is common currency in the work meetings the desire to participate of the people, the spontaneous appearance of opportunities, of different alternatives, the contribution of ideas for the improvement of processes, initiatives to achieve differentiation in the market, and in the same way in All areas of the organization can see that interest appear when those responsible for exercising direct action, those who live in the trenches and make things happen, have the opportunity to speak.
These contributions that happen randomly or those caused in brainstorming meetings, with some honorable exceptions, seem to fall into a common bag, that of desire, which most of the time turns into oblivion.
Only by exception is this filter exceeded, and in few cases does any relevant impact appear.
Harnessed or not, the uncontrollable restlessness of the people to play to create, to bring something new, integrates the generative capacity of the organization and is waiting for its opportunity to be summoned and although it does not declare it, it awaits its space to happen.
This organizational capacity, available in each position, is a potential characteristic in any organization that is rarely convened, and when it happens, it generally comes with time, in a limited way to a topic and in a corset.
For today's executives, those who inadvertently drag the installed motivational tools in each hand (on the left the carrot and on the right the whip), in the distance that their saying and their reaction comprise, they notice a new space in which what might be expected from them could happen… to make the new discourses so widely proclaimed by everyone happen: commitment, teamwork, value generation, people in charge of the integrating process, speaking clearly, coordinated action, etc.
Among the specialists who struggle to occupy the scene there is a permanent debate between different options, some of them available, others in development, to achieve the mecca: "make things happen" and hold a proven tool of success.
Increasingly Organizations want to achieve the achievement of having all the generative capacity of their people. That north encourages them to travel new paths and apply resonant theories, albeit with great caution originating from that subtle boundary between conviction and convenience. Meanwhile, in this way, the time is being stretched to capitalize on those gifts, that culturally discouraged human potentiality and still so vital that it permanently seeks an opportunity to germinate.
