Do the Majority of People Regularly Break Larger Problems Down Into Smaller Problems?
Craig Tedrow spent twenty-seven years at the same company. He was thinking about a career change. It was 2011, and at that time computer networking was all the buzz. He enrolled in a two-year program to become a computer networking professional. If you ask Craig, he...
Is Your Entire Team Following Scientific Thinking Methodologies?
Have you ever seen the illustration of the boat with more rowers on one side than another? Perhaps you saw the exaggerated one with no rowers on one side and the boat just goes in a circle. The basic premise is solid. The same holds true for twin engine boats. With...
Japan Study Trip: Days 5-7
My favorite scenic part of the trip was our bus ride from Nagoya through the Central Alps (mountains) to Nagano, and then to Takasaki. The Japanese Alps have been used as a place of ascetic practice for Buddhists monks since ancient times. These towering ranges...
Japan Study Trip: Day 4
As I write to you this morning, I am enjoying my view of the Central Alps from the balcony in this traditional Japanese Ryokan. Our stay here has been very special and relaxing. The Ryokan has an Onsen, or hot spring, for its guest to enjoy as well. We travelled here...

Do the Majority of People Experiment With Improvements?
What’s the worst thing that can happen? I’m sure many of us can come up with a dozen or so responses to that question. Too often we are held back by the countless things we imagine might go wrong when we think of proposing a new way of doing something. We stick with...
Do Your Leaders Encourage Risk Taking?
I’ve never really been a fan of heights. My roof at the highest point is thirty-eight feet from the ground. Years ago, I actually went up there. Visiting the roofers when my house was built to take in the sights was truly breathtaking. Now, it would still be...
Are all leaders involved in vision casting and goal alignment?
