We are smarter than me

A friend of mine heard an interview about this organization https://www.wearesmarter.org/ on the radio this morning.

He sez, "One thing in particular that caught my attention:

They were working to have a community write a book. They said that they went through 5-6 different processes trying to control the style of writing. All of them failed.

The only way they were able to move forward was to give up trying to control things like style. They had to give up the thought that they owned the content (including the writing style) and accept that ownership of the content was transferred to the community."

I haven't read their book yet - but this looks like an interesting read.
