Leadership educator & learning fanatic

In the new world of work, the promise of inexperience is what bridges the gap created

by the curse of experience — ignite it.

Insight #1

Insight #2

The critical skill of this century is not what you hold in your head, but your ability to tap

into and access what other people know.

Insight #3

If you knew that your best learning takes place when your expectations are being violated,

would you live on the edge more often?

Insight #4

It’s the progressive leader who lives in the duality of expectation. While she

demands high expectations, she knows that mistakes are inevitable.

Insight #5

An unencumbered mind breaks the shackles of experience. Here are three ways to

increase your mental capacity to see, explore and discover:

• Ask Naive Questions - Ask the basic questions that simplify and clarify• Wipe the Slate - Get a fresh start

• Let Go of the Monkey Trap - Release your resources

Insight #6

Great leaders use their own intelligence to heighten the intelligence of others

by asking these questions:

• How does a lack of experience free me to rise beyond the current state?

• How do mastery and success anchor us in place?

Insight #7

While the danger of experience is comfort and complacency, it’s the size of the challenge that

will ignite my level of job satisfaction.

Insight #8

Leaders who are fluid know when to lead and when to follow, for they know that the critical

skill is to mobilize human resources.

Insight #9

If you’re doing the same things the same way you’ve always done them, rekindle your sense

of wonder with one of these experiments:

• Try to get fired - Instead of playing it safe, just play.

• Throw away your notes - Toss out your best practices and develop new practices

• Sure with the amateurs - Spend time with the amateurs and the young at heart

Insight #10

Change maybe difficult, but it’s irrelevance that will be crippling.
