@ReachScale I just see too many smart people who are not strong at personal capacity planning and over commit and under value open space





But mostly what you want to do is invent. And to invent, you have to take the odd and the strange combination of the years of knowledge and experience on one side of the brain, and on the other side, the necessity for the brief to make sense. And you’re drawing from that knowledge to make an analogy and to find a way to solve a problem, to find a means of moving forward — in a new way — things you’ve already done.
When you succeed, it’s fantastic. It doesn’t always happen. But every so often, you take a bunch of stuff from one side of your head, and a very logical list of stuff from the other side, and through that osmosis you’re finding a new way to look at a problem and resolve a situation.

The Path of Amateurs farnamstreetblog.com/2013/01/the-pa… via@farnamstreet

devising your own routines, you become as creative as possible. You invent exercises that work upon your weaknesses. You give yourself arbitrary deadlines to meet certain standards, constantly pushing yourself past perceived limits. In this way you develop your own standards for excellence, generally higher than those of others.

2. Taking on problem stakeholders immediately recognize as significant? MT @JenniferSertlGr8 #Recalibrate ?'s for #CSR csrwiretalkback.tumblr.com/post/341292618…
1. Can we identify and focus on a cause or problem whose solution creates shared value?
2. Are we taking on a problem that our stakeholders would immediately recognize as significant?
3. Is the problem we have chosen core enough to our business that we can ask our experts to apply their knowledge to the problem across multiple functions?
4. Is the problem we have chosen important enough that each member of the executive committee could justify spending two days a month (10% of work time) leading the organization and ecosystem in seeking a solution?
5. Is our wisdom, work and investment focused on attracting participants across the value chain?
