Use this Appendix in conjunction with Appendices K
and L. The key to success in any venture,
personal or professional, is to understand the role of change in society
(change is the only constant), to accept the reality of change, and to
thus follow the appropriate roles to achieve the goals. In each
case, action is required. Each action is an act of leadership.

and my experience and research since then, led me to create, in 1997,
what I consider to be the key question to ask any individual or organization
seeking general or specific improvement for an individual or an organization
or just seeking to meet a general purpose goal: "What is your
GPA: your "goals per action rating? In other words, are
your actions supporting a goal that you have or is counter to or undermining
of or sabotaging one or more goals? Here are some of the ways to
improve your gpa rating that are included in the full document, to keep
you on course, so you have a better chance to achieve your goals:

and conflict resolution: (1) include representatives
of all stake holder groups; (2) establish common goals and common ground
on which to stand; (3) conduct collaboration in which all is negotiable,
(4) evaluate actions and results using the calculus of meaning
and the calculus of pain; and (5) analyze self and others on the
basis whether the negotiation/collaboration is based on arguments of merit
or from an ideological framework (historically specific conservatives
and historically nonspecific conservatives; see Appendix
L).
