Revolutionary Thinking

Do you ever wonder how the really BIG ideas happen? From DaVinci and Einstein to Edison and Henry Ford: all made monumental advances through revolutionary thinking. Whether you're a scientist, church leader, intrepreneur, entrepreneur or corporate strategist, real success and real impact will come from your organization's ability to deliver quantum leap-style thinking that promotes advances in technological innovation, products and services that boost bottom line results. But how do you do this? Change your thinking! You must begin thinking like a Revolutionary! How can you become a REVOLUTIONARY thinker? Later... (from The Forgotten Ways)

Things to ponder:

"If a man sits down to think, he is immediately asked if he has the headache."—Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A great many people think they are thinking when the are merely rearranging their prejudices."—William James, attributed

"The grinding of the intellect is for most people as painful as a dentist's drill."—Leonard Woolf, quoted in the The Observer

Revolutionary Leadership...

Adaptive leadership moves the system to the edge of chaos, not over it, but to the edge of it...the leader's role is to ensure that the system is directly facing up to the issues that confront it, issues that if left unattended will eventually destroy it. If people in the organization never seriously face the problem and stay with it for a reasonable time, they will never feel the need to move to find a genuine and more lasting solution...It is the role of transformative leadership to 'sell the probelm before you try evoking a solution,' because it is at the 'edge of chaos' where real innovation takes place." -Alan Hirsch, The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church
