Thinking on a lazy Saturday

I have been thinking after reading an excerpt from a book yesterday, the difference between having knowledge and understanding.

There are many instances where I have been caught short as a result of thinking that it too rigid (having knowledge) as opposed to fluidity in decisions and action (after understanding).

I am unsure if you get my drift here, but this is an area where I am seeking more understanding myself so I can better express myself to my team members. As importantly, enabling and empowering myself as well as my team members to the next level.

The lowest common denominators are as follows:

Making common sense into common practice - whereby an action or a decision is taken to benefit most people without having to wait for instructions or validation.

Another one is, as simply explained by futuristic architect, the late R. Buckminster Fuller (fondly known as Bucky Fuller among student of the Excellerated Business Schools) is the law of precession where if you see the need to do something, and even if no one else sees the need, then you take action anyway. This is vehicle to reaching the highest good to serve others, be they human, animals or environment.

It's going to be an exciting journey for me and my team members.... this is beyond what they would expect from their business relationships with me, but then, this is something that I see the need even if they don't yet. I am serving to achieve my highest good.

Thinking on a lazy Saturday is good!
