Here is an article highlighted by Wendy Wickham directly relevant to the Engagement in a Time of Polarization MOOC I am currently taking (it's a subscription article but I have six free views left, so...). Wickham writes, "The assumption behind any change model is 'I can change you.'  Training = 'I can change you.' Organizational culture initiatives = 'I can change you.' Management = 'I can change you.' No wonder projects fail and people are resentful." Also: " The same people who tend to go after power will be the same people who have power in this structure.  There is nothing inherently in the structure (or in any structure) that equalizes how people experience power in its various forms."
