"How to Live, Learn, & Lead the Common Sense Way"
Presentation Overview:
We’re all fugitives from the law of averages: tornados, tsunamis, and terror attacks; car crashes, crime, and cardiac arrest; asteroids, anarchy, and Armageddon. Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing so there’s no substitute for the prepared mind. In a survival situation only one thing is certain, whether we live or whether we die depends on the choices we make in the context of the moment we make them: to panic or pay attention, to fight or flee, to shoot first or question what we see. Choosing is how we humans adapt.
The rigid and non-adaptive leader making choices based on emotions, plans, or a disconnected chain of command is a disciple of death. Whether you’re crossing the Iraqi desert with your team, or the hall for an urgent meeting with your boss, or a busy street with your family and friends, your individual and collective freedom to make sense of what’s going on around you and sensible choices about what to do next isn’t a matter of philosophy, or politics, or religion, it’s a biologic necessity. Conscious awareness enables us to live, learn, and lead the Common Sense Way. The Common Sense Way promotes a new way that can radically enhance the way we learn to adapt to complex problems and opportunities as well as the way we lead and organize to accomplish any purpose.
