Yesterday’s Logic or Tomorrow’s Moonshot?

Navigating turbulence with creative thinking

Welcome to our latest episode of 2-Rep Tuesday, where we bring an insight (Rep #1) and a question (Rep #2) from the world of high-performance to get your wheels turning.

Sport is an environment where the ‘way we’ve always done it’ often wins. We continue to do what we’ve always done, hoping it will work again because it did once upon a time - for us, or someone we admire. 

Famous management thinker Peter Drucker warns, “The greatest danger in turbulent times is not the turbulence- it is to act with yesterday’s logic.”

 🎯 Insight

Effective leadership is defined as setting the right path to master current and future challenges. In these turbulent times, thinking creatively has never been more important. This begins with unlocking the collective experience and diverse expertise of everyone in the building. Harvard researcher Amy Edmondson terms cross-functional collaboration “teaming” and believes this is the modern way to solve complex problems.

🎯 Question

In these turbulent times, how can we operationalize creativity and novel thinking across functional silos? Then, how can we prototype the best ideas to determine where home runs may exist?
