Caring is a nitty-gritty process. Cultivating Common Ground teaches
us how to care at work with real life experiences, rather than
through conceptual thinking alone. Caring relationships to our work
and each other give meaning to our work and provide a powerful
source of energy for our organizations. Therefore, we must release
relationships from their hiding place in the informal structure of
the organization. The way to do that is to work together, to
cultivate common ground, in order to make a conscious commitment to
hold a life and a task in common. As old structures crumble, we
have the opportunity to build caring communities at work. This book
explains what went wrong in the first place, names our fears, and
provides real-life examples of how to release the power of
relationships in the workplace.
