I QUIT MY JOB
I’ve been a surgeon for eight years. For the past couple of them, my performance in the operating room has reached a plateau. I’d like to think it’s a good thing -- I’ve arrived at my professional peak. But mainly it seems as if I’ve just stopped getting better.

Atul Gwande“Coaching a Surgeon: What Makes Top Performers Better”
Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine? If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back.

If you are lucky enough to have somebody who will pay a lot of attention to you, then great, more power to you. But to search for their magic? I’m just not buying it.

THE DRAMA OF CRITICAL THINKING IS OUR PROCESS.
TAKE IN A BUNCH OF INPUTS FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES.
ASK A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO ASK.
HYPOTHESIZE SOLUTIONS.
CRAFT A STORY TO HELP PEOPLE EMBRACE THE IDEAS.
SEEK INPUTS FROM EVERYWHERE
FOR IDEAS PEOPLE, WE LOOK AT SURPRISINGLY FEW INFLUENCES
SOME PEOPLE COLLECT DOLLS...
EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW, WE LEARN THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE
NEVER STOP LEARNING

IMPOSTER SYNDROME MAY BE A BIG DEAL
The machine had been invented a few years ago: a machine that could tell, from just a sample of your blood, how you were going to die. It didn’t give you the date and it didn’t give you the specifics. It just spat out a sliver of paper on which were printed, in careful block letters, the words DROWNED or CANCER or OLD AGE or CHOKED ON A HANDFUL OF POPCORN. It let people know how they were going to die.“

One of the interesting things that we’ve noticed is that companies correlate on decision making and speed of decision making. There are basically no companies that have good slow decisions. There are only companies that have good fast decisions. I think that’s also a natural thing as companies get bigger -- they tend to slow down decision making. And that’s pretty tragic.

The big problems are these sorts that only ever get solved by trial and error, so when they are being solved, they are being solved through experimentation, which is often a bottom-up process. When they are not being solved it is because we are not willing to experiment, or to use trial and error.
