I also liked the quote it starts with: “Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous” – Confucius

Ian, the key is indeed to move beyond the passing thought. Some kind of “101 skill training” would help. But we also need to help these leaders equate “reflect” with “personal success”. Otherwise they won’t apply the skills. Going back to the professional athletes, the reason they take the time to watch their own game is that they are convinced it’s critical to their success. Otherwise they would skip the replay-the-game sessions; instead they would practice, stretch or hit the gym to pump some iron – in a go-go-go fashion.

“Edmond, I think the perceptive practitioner gets those visual signs that a discussion point has hit a nerve and people have an uneasy feeling. So the ability to convert that to the thinking stage, beyond a passing thought, and very consciously reflect is a key skill. Maybe 101 training on “how to reflect” is now necessary today in a world of go, go, go?”

Thx Tamara. Help them stop and reflect! BTW – I’m waiting in line right now… so I’d better put my iPhone back in my pocket and do some “stop & reflect” 😉
