Some questions I’m asking…

Is “agility” more about process and tools, or thinking and learning?

Is “perfecting the plan” a learned assumption? And if so, what are the sources for this learning?

How do you expose and challenge your hidden assumptions?

I’d love to hear your comments.

Numerous linkages to the Responsibility Process and Keys to Responsibility are evident. As you watch, listen for references to intention, awareness, and confront.

This video is evocative and inspirational to say the least. If it doesn’t inspire you to own who you are and step up your responsibility practice, what will?

Tip: Listen to Will’s first sentence in this video. 8 words. That phrase confronted me — as did many others. What will it take for you to say the same thing with the same conviction?

Comments please.
