>Ancient Wisdom for Solving Problems and Transforming Aggression

><<Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are
>made based on power rather than intelligence. Consider the language we use:
>"attack the problem," "tackle the issue," "take a stab at it," "wrestle it to
>the ground," "get on top of it." In the face of opposition, we "back down,"
>"retreat," or "regroup." Such descriptions point to a startling conclusion. We
>experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as
>enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat 
>opposition forces. No
>wonder we can't come up with real and lasting solutions!
>
>Increasing aggression in our societies and our world is having a profound
>impact on organizational relationships. >>   [more at the link above]
