Attractors For Effective Team Thinking

We could have called these principles or philosophies but, stuck with the name attractor. This helps us avoid the discussion that these thought patterns are the essence of everything or the foundation of something. Instead we choose to use them as ways to encourage our head as we think about what we do. Each attractor can stand on its own but, taken together they become truly synergistic. The act of writing them down might diminish their power or ability to explain because our words drift from what they meant originally to us. This is the constant battle that we all face in trying to remain adaptive in our thought process. So, to help others get started thinking this way we have wrote them down like this for now and we observe and adapt to how they drift in meaning / use over time.
