Debbie Rogers on 
General,
Great story to remind us of not what we are but what we can be.
I’ve read recently that we have two parts of our brain – heuristic side and cognitive side. Heuristic is quick to judge, quick to estimate but can be often wrong. Cognitive is thoughtful and calculating and if often right BUT is lazy and will often, if not always, defer to Heuristic. There are ways, each individual to a person, to spool up your cognitive size and have it ready in the wing.
I wonder, and your thoughts are greatly appreciated, if we can spend time spooling up our teams’ cognitive side versus the occasional fire-drill as to keep them thinking outside of the box and out of group-think.
best,
Ed Pierce
