Take a few moments to define or discuss what paradox and improvisation look like in the workplace. I have a feeling that many people get lulled into routines that neither is apparent (although both are surely present in some ways). I like the way you stress the importance of strengths, particularly how they can be used to serve others. "How will you apply your strengths to make things happen." I also think we will need a few concrete examples of how managing by fear might show up - I am guessing that most managers manage by fear in some ways, but we might not see that this is what's really at the root of it because it seems so natural and we were "raised" through our careers with the same methods.

I also think we will need a few concrete examples of how managing by fear might show up – I am guessing that most managers manage by fear in some ways, but we might not see that this is what’s really at the root of it because it seems so natural and we were “raised” through our careers with the same methods.

Fun, fun…

I especially like the questions on strengths and am highly intrigued by the "Embrace your ignorance", I find often the best way to manage things is to manage things you know nothing about so you can focus on managing it, instead of getting deeply involved. And yes, I'd love to read the other 9. Interesting 5 David.
