While teams are essential to optimizing the flow of organizational trust, equally important is the philosophy of empowerment. The effectiveness of teams is tremendously enhanced when they are fully empowered to do their work and to fulfill the organizations mission and values. Empowerment must be much, much more than a mere slogan, however. It should be within the very DNA of the organization. Empowerment...

Virtually all of our societal organizations seem to have either forgotten or have never really known why they exist and what their higher purposes are.

    What is the Difference between An
    F&AM and an AF&AM Lodge?

    From 1751 to 1813, there were actually two Grand Lodges in England. The difference in AF & AM vs F & AM states goes back to a disagreement between these two Grand Lodges in London at that time. AF & AM means Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and F & AM, Free and Accepted Masons
    One group was called the “Moderns”, but was actually the older of the two English Grand
    Lodges. The other group was called the “Antients”, which became the “Ancients” in AF and AM. Due to this disagreement, the two groups broke into separate Grand Lodges. The disagreement was later healed around 1880, but by that time, there were lodges and Grand Lodges all over the United States that were descended from one group or the other, and so each group kept their corresponding initials with which they were formed (which is the reason for which there are small differences within different states’ ritual wording and Grand Lodge By-Laws and procedures).
