If only...

    If colleagues live with criticism
    They will learn to condemn.

    If colleagues live with hostility
    They will learn to fight.

    If colleagues live with ridicule
    They will learn to be shy.

    If colleagues live with jealousy
    They will learn to feel guilty.

    But if colleagues live with tolerance
    They will learn to be patient.

    If colleagues live with encouragement
    They will learn self-confidence.

    If colleagues live with praise
    They will learn to appreciate.

    If colleagues live with fairness
    They will learn justice.

    If colleagues live with approval
    They will learn to like themselves.

    If colleagues live with security
    They will learn to have faith.

    If colleagues lives with acceptance and friendship
    They will learn to find love in the world.

    Chris

Like what you have done there Chris. Corollary = more appreciative enquiry and much less inspection and testing. Shift that culture!
