Working Together Toward Quality
And The Five Fundamental Social Laws

          Thomas J. Neuville

"Partnering with others requires first the capacity to partner with yourself"

Some 200 Tennesseans spent three days together in Chattanooga April 23 - 25, 1997. These where not just your ordinary folks from Tennessee. They were dedicated individuals striving to generate communities that are healthy and supportive of all its citizens. Perhaps in light of Chattanoogas' most recent designation as one of the countrys' most enlightened cities (Utne Reader, May - June 97) these were ordinary Tennesseans and the rest of us are sub-ordinary. The group of unassuming citizens and professionals developed what should be fundamental guidelines for all who care to leave this place better then we found it. The five fundamental social laws are simple to understand, easy to embrace and full of complex lifetime struggles to attain. They quite possibly could be that worthy rainbow that the mere striving for constitutes success as we can never expect to realize the full potential of these mandates.

Work as Teams

Stability and support are the cornerstones of working as a team according to the people at the Chattanooga gathering. The concept of stable presents us with the challenge. A stable team is not likely to give way as a structure or support. A stable structure is unchangeable regarding character or purpose. Because of this the stable team is enduring and permanent. This requires the members to take the long view when creating the foundation of teams. The foundation is composed of connections, affiliations and affinity with a variety of people. Perhaps the best definition of a team is one or more draft horses together with the harness and vehicle drawn. The questions to continue to ask as we assess our teams for strength and stability are; what is our harness or what links us together and what is our vehicle or means of accomplishing our purpose.

Talk and Listen to Create Communication

To communicate or exchange ideas and information along with attending closely for the purpose of hearing and understanding is the intention of this law. Steven Covey has told millions to seek first to understand. This advice is no stranger to people at the Chattanooga gathering. This may be one of the grand old traditions in Tennessee. Everyone has a point that we must respect and honor in order to make progress. Each day we strive to be crystal clear as to what it is we want and need. Today this is more difficult than we would wish. Understanding is the desired outcome of talking and listening. To be thoroughly familiar with and to apprehend clearly the character, nature or subtleties of each person is the challenge we all face.
