Meeting the unprecedented challenges we face today is going to require that we practice and learn a different way of working together. Fortunately it is also an enjoyable way to work!
• Solving individual problems is not enough. We need to be striving toward something! Where do we want to be in future?
• The paths for getting there are not clear in advance. Plans & proposed countermeasures are only predictions, made at the point of greatest uncertainty about how things will go.😯 Find the way by working scientifically; experimenting against the obstacles you encounter.
Scientific-thinking skill & mindset is a universal "meta skill" that can be applied in nearly any situation, including ones we've never experienced before. But please note: ST is not natural to us. We acquire this kind of skill/mindset thru a bit of deliberate practice every day.
To all managers, supervisors and team leaders: You are actually a coach and teacher. What skills and mindset is your team practicing every day?
