We can only work on the things on our mental radar ↑ ↓ at a point in time.
The economic and social health of our world depends on our capacity to navigate unimagined futures.
That capacity is governed by what’s between our ears.
When we are involved in something it is very difficult to navigate unless we have a pre-thought systematic work approach. ↓

“To know something,
to really understand something important,
one must look at it from sixteen different angles.
People are perceptually slow,
and there is no shortcut to understanding;
it takes a great deal of time.” read more

“Concentration—that is, the courage to impose on time and events
[one’s] own decision as to what really matters and comes first—is
the executive’s only hope of becoming the master

Thinking canvases are needed
Today, the great majority of Americans live in big cities and their suburbs.
They have moved away from their moorings, but they still need a community.
And it is working as unpaid staff for a non-profit institution that gives people a sense of community, gives purpose, gives direction — whether it is work with the local Girl Scout troop, as a volunteer in the hospital, or as the leader of a Bible circle in the local church.
Again and again when I talk to volunteers in non-profits, I ask, “Why are you willing to give all this time when you are already working hard in your paid job?” continue
Peter Drucker — the one and only — top-of-the-food-chain
Drucker called himself a social / political ecologist — concerned with man’s man-made environment the way the natural ecologist studies the biological environment.

“Management, in most business schools, is still taught as a bundle of techniques, such as the technique of budgeting.
To be sure, management, like any other work, has its own tools and its own techniques.
But just as the essence of medicine is not the urinalysis, important though it is, the essence of management is not techniques and procedures.
The essence of management is to make knowledge productive.
Management, in other words, is a social function.
And in its practice, management is truly a “liberal art.” ”

A journalist who types with two fingers will still be typing with two fingers at the age of sixty.
This is not for lack of typing practice.
Practice in two-finger typing will serve only to make that person a better two-finger typist.
Yet a short course in touch typing at a young age would have made that person a much better typist for all his or her life.
“Thinking … the most fundamental,
the most important aspect of life,
the basis for everything is totally neglected …

Universities: no thinking faculty and zero possibility thinking
School: no thinking subject” — Edward de Bono
