FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Do you strive to be a change agent in your field? Do you sometimes feel like you're spinning your wheels when trying to improve and innovate? This week’s food for thought offers a potential solution- Stop Asking How? by Will Richardson “When we ask How?, Block suggests, we immediately constrain ourselves in the task. We immediately become slaves to practice and deflect from our deeper values. And our deeper values, those teased out when we ask “What matters?”, are the ones that lead us to powerful answers to the How?, answers that we already carry within us.”
I hope you have a wonderful week.
