Make the Future Accessible
Why do your Mindsets make a difference?
Mindsets are the software that supervise our thinking.
But while we are updating and upgrading the software
in our computers, we neglect to update the software
for the most complex computer there is, the computer
in our heads. We have the choice: We can stick with
the standard program – mindsets that are inculcated
or driven by social coercion as we go through life –
or we can deliberately develop mindsets. Mindsets that
will enable us to navigate our thinking through the
jungle of information to get a clear understanding of
the present, the key to anticipate what the future holds.
Create new Mindsets
Part I of Mind Set! tells stories about the world’s
greatest thinkers, shows examples of idols and rebels
of today’s business world, and underscores the
great impact mindsets have in business and live.
Each person will rank the mindsets in a different way
-- different tasks demand different tools. For leaders:
"Don't get so far ahead of the parade that people
don't know you are in it," advises us to stay within
the field of vision of those we want to lead. For entrepreneurs:
“You don’t get results by solving problems,
but by exploiting opportunities,” points out why
most of the outstanding people are opportunity-seekers,
and not problem-solvers. For those who want to anticipate
the future: “Focus on the score of the game”
is the platform to build on. “While many things
change, most things remain constant” is a basic
to start looking for the drivers of change that will
shape the future.
