  14. We Thrive on Learning • The brain is hardwired to enable routine but it has an innate desire to create novel connections • Ask questions to stimulate learning • When we ‘learn’ the brain releases neurotransmitters like adrenaline:we get a RUSH • Insight is personal and measurable;hardwire with repeated attention

  15. Loyalty to the pastis a treacherous thingin a world of rapid change

  16. “An organization is a system, with a logic of it’s own, and all the weight of tradition and inertia. The deck is stacked in favor of the tried and proven way of doing things and against the taking of risks and striking out in a new direction.” John D. Rockefeller III

  33. Roger Martin The Opposable Mind Integrative Thinking • Take a broad view ofwhat might be important - scan • Search for creative resolution of tension rather than accept unpleasant trade offs • Complexity is messy and it can lead to better decisions
