When you hear a new way of thinking for the very first time it is impressive right? Sends a bit of a shiver.
Just like the first time I heard the following. A challenge from someone in leadership to someone in a session who was struggling to think something through. He said - "If you knew the answer what would it be?"
There was a bit of a gasp in the room - a nervous laugh as people thought the guy who was challenging was being a bit of a nob. It was a stupid question on first hearing. Then the lightbulb went off. The question sank in. What a fabulously freeing question.
You can't forget a question like that.
What's really important though is the imagination to understand the idea of it as a tool – now presented by the question. Go on inspire yourself! It is the greatest gift we have and we seldom use it - it's called thinking. Think about it.
