Connection

Chapter Chapter 4 in Beyond Inclusion, 2014, pp 33-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Connection is a critical part of Ubuntic inclusion. Without a sense of being connected—to a larger purpose, to the organization, to organizational stakeholders—Ubuntic inclusion cannot be realized. In fact, if asked, many individuals in an Ubuntic community would be hard-pressed to define Ubuntu. Consider the following joke told by David Foster Wallace in his 2005 commencement address at Kenyon College: There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”1
