Chaos begets change, is a driver of creativity and a reason to be in existence. Too often people fear chaos and try to bring order. When, in fact, they should embrace chaos, drawing lessons to improve their existence and others.
No control in chaos provides an observation platform to examine how individual parts influence the whole. The observation platform will drive energy for creativity, raising the flow of options available for solutions and innovations. Although uncomfortable, chaos is a friend that helps organizations challenge a premise of one size fits all. Chaos is a friend that requires individual solutions which are adaptable for others to consider, revise, and move into their environment. Chaos is a friend who forces organizations to think of the whole, not parts. Chaos is a friend who nudges everyone to think and solve their own issues with urgency; working collaboratively with others, not waiting for others to give them the answers. Chaos is an environment where minds are equal and the resolution resides with many rather than a few.
Full control of chaos is the discipline to see the whole not just parts. Energy is created when the power of the idea is uncovered. Chaos is uncontrollable; Chaos is a test of resolve, a test of character, a test of retaining strength and endurance. Chaos ignites activity and collaboration, opening minds to connect the disconnected. Chaos is the platform for innovation, the source of will power for executing next steps, the motivator for inspiration. Chaos is an agent of change and learning, preparing people to see what has not been seen; preparing them for a chaotic future. Chaos is a game of thinking and leading, not doing as told, which will be played for eternity. There is no end. It is a game of asking for forgiveness not permission to take action, there is no right answer only options to execute and examine their consequences. Its lessons are archived in literature and have been passed from generation to generation.
When chaos surfaces: No control is full control. Full control is no control.
