‘Even intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced people fall into the trap of using either analysis or synthesis as a default.’
‘We need goals and actions- but we do better when they’re connected, and when our actions give us a glimpse of success.’
‘Great leaders use wisdom to help them discern what knowledge is needed in what circumstance.’
‘Deconstruction is the act of taking something apart while retaining the component parts.’
