A Note From the Editor: As we recently mentioned, we are reposting popular blog posts while Ron is recovering from some health issues. This series was interacted with well, so we hope you enjoy revisiting this introductory post. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) structure is made up of four pairs of functions. Together they combine for a possible 16 different preference types. Notice that I use the word “preference.” These functions have nothing to do with skill or ability, they are simply different preferences for dealing with the world around us. Experience Preference Let’s experience a ..read more

A Note From the Editor: As we recently mentioned, we are reposting popular blog posts while Ron is recovering from some health issues. This series from last year might be a good one to revisit. Facing Adversity How do we face adversity? This is a difficult one for me to write.  Mainly because I’ve been in my own set of adversities.  Over the last several weeks I have been back in the hospital and had further operations as I deal with my inherited liver disease.  But, I’m not the only one.  I’ve seen several of my friends deal with Cancer that requires infusions several tim ..read more

A Note From the Editor: As we recently mentioned, we are reposting popular blog posts while Ron is recovering from some health issues. Are you curious about curiosity? Ron’s Short Review: I just love the idea of curiosity and use it often to help myself and clients learn to listen better.  Brian Grazer (Ron Howard’s movie producing partner) makes a great case for how intentional curiosity has helped him live a richer life.  I did take a few notes but I think the book could have been written with at least one third fewer pages.  I think the books “A More Beautiful Question ..read more

REPOST: Character vs. Competence

A Note From the Editor: As we recently mentioned, we are reposting popular blog posts while Ron is recovering from some health issues. Tyranny of Competence Bob Quinn in his book Deep Change introduced us to the concept of the “Tyranny of Competence.” This is a person that is so good at the skills of their job, leaders will tend to overlook their other flaws in character.  They assume the character flaws would never cause enough negative issues to overcome the positive impact of being really good at their job. Don’t ever think that.  The destruction caused by lack of character is alw ..read more

Navy Seals Simon talks about working with Navy Seals.  Navy Seals are probably the highest-performing teams on the planet.  In his work with Seals, he asked, “How do you choose the guys that make it to Seal Team 6?” Seal Team 6 is the best of the ..read more

I’ve talked about my concerns with ChatGPT. A word that is heavily used in articles related to ChatGPT is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Let’s start with the word artificial. Synonyms for the word include: • Unreal • Bogus • Counterfeit • Fabricated • Faked • False Now let’s take a look at some of the synonyms for the word intelligence: • Brainpower • Reason • Sense • Smarts So if we put a few of those words together we get Bogus Brainpower, Counterfeit Reason, Fabricated Sense, False Smarts, etc. There are endless combinations, none of them very flattering. While we’ve seemed to hold AI in hi ..read more

Transister Radio

When I was growing up there were no computers masquerading as radios. But I do remember my first transistor radio. It had both AM and FM and would fit in my hand. This allowed me to lay in the front yard on warm summer evenings listening to the Detroit Tigers baseball game. But baseball games had a lot of downtime which allowed me to think, observe the Milky Way, and listen to the sounds of summer nights. Polymath I thought a lot about being a polymath. Not really; I didn’t even know the word polymath. A polymath is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects and is k ..read more
