“…almost always, those
who achieve fundamental
inventions of a new
paradigm have been
either very young or very
new to the field whose
paradigm they change.”

Heuristics can vary in their
sophistication, and they can be
immediate reactions to
situations or simple rules of
thumb.

who has been the most
important for getting your work
done?

Consider an important project or
initiative that you are involved in.
Consider the people who would

out for meals and so on. Over
the last 6 months, who are the

Where do good ideas come
from? That is simple…from
differences. Creativity comes
from unlikely juxtapositions.
The best way to maximize
differences is to mix ages,
cultures and disciplines.
