The Antidote

27 June 2012

The idea of “happiness for people who can’t stand postive thinking” is like catnip for someone like me. In this trailer for his book Oliver Burkeman eloquently pushes back against goal orientation and what I’d call effortful striving. How nice to have a bit of philosophy brought into the discussion,

Developing ideas

28 May 2012

David Aycan writes about the idea of Minimum Viable Products. I liked these little diagrams comparing different approaches to development. Traditional linear approach: Standard sequential pivot approach: Recommended approach Hat tip: Eaon Pritchard —–

Another idea of leadership

25 May 2012

As I’ve said before, I’m sceptical of most conversations containing the word leadership. But once in a while a really interesting definition of it comes along. This one is from Esko Kilpi: Following is at best a process of active, creative learning through observing and simulating desired practices. Leading is

Reading

11 May 2012

Apparently, humans were not born to read. “Reading is a cultural invention ” [Dr. Guinevere] Eden said. “There’s nothing designed in the brain to make us readers. Reading has only been around for 4,000 years, maybe a little longer. There are no systems in place from an evolutionary perspective designed

A great interpretation of the 80/20 principles

4 May 2012

Greg Rader offers some principles for disruptive learning environments. I like that he’s reluctant to do a list post and as lists go this is pretty good. This thought stood out for me:Embracing varied challenges and stimuli capitalizes on the Pareto principle – 80% of the effects come from 20%

Understanding vulnerability

1 May 2012

Camila Batmanghelidjh asks why child protection remains such a challenge in the UK. There aren’t simple answers but I so agree with her on this point: Nationally we comfort ourselves with inquiries almost as if writing and debating a document solves the problem I’ve long felt we suffer from this

Trances

29 April 2012

There seems to have been a lot of political leaders looking foolish lately. We look at their actions and explanations and wonder how they ended up there. I guess because they got into a trance where they were simply missing the cues that might warn them to change tack. Viv

Reframing economics

29 April 2012

Andrew Revkin looks at how some young people want to reframe economic debate. Here’s how one puts it: The dominant narrative says that environmental restraint must be limited and gradual while social spending must be contained otherwise the economy will not grow and we will all suffer. This kind of

Leadership as holding uncertainty

28 April 2012

Viv picks out some nice ideas from Phelim McDermott on the subject of leadership. “We love the security of the illusion that someone is in control. Even more than the discomfort of a potentially more creative process. That’s how we want our leaders: ”Reassuringly blameable.” Of course carrying that blameability

Success

28 April 2012

Henry Blodget spotted this image. I think it captures very succinctly the perils of retrospective coherence – the myriad ways we tidy up history to make things seem more linear. I think the delusion of linearity accounts for a lot of not-very-effective training and even-less-effective bureaucracy. Processes and skills are
