Is Your Organization Suffering From Corporate ADD?

It is time to rethink our thinking as this TEDxChilliwack video notes

Many of us have forgotten how to think. Worse, some have surrendered the responsibility to think and, in the process, minds have closed to the potential an improved form of thinking brings. The way we focus on the short-term, race to complete tasks, or sit on wonderful ideas because we are fearful of what may happen, is regrettable. At times, it is downright frightening. But this current state of thinking has created an opportunity for reconsideration. There is hope. It is time to rethink our thinking. It is time for open thinking. Dream. Decide. Do. Repeat.
