“The image is a great reminder how we create our world through interpretations made up of language and symbols. Our language and symbols are always incomplete versions of a greater reality. Here is why inquiry is such a powerful tool when compared to simple advocacy. Inquiry allows us to discover what might be outside the cave instead of arguing about the shadows on the wall.” WorldRealityLanguageSimplePowerfulWallShadowArguingIncompleteAdvocacy Author:Alan Briskin
“We know that uncertainty creates anxiety and sometimes desperate attempts to find something to believe in. Uncertainty engenders real opportunity as well as misleading choices, great leaders as well as false messiahs, and new ways of understanding the world alongside hollow maxims and deceptive promises. Understandably, we seek guides and guideposts to ease the anxiety of the journey. But we also need to depend on our own insights and imagination to cultivate, from our own experience, a way to move forward.” ThinkingWorldBelieveRealSometimesMovingChoicesOpportunityUnderstandingImaginationLeaderJourneyPromiseAnxietyInsightMoving ForwardUncertaintyDesperateGreat LeaderMisleadDeceptive Author:Alan Briskin
