We live in a world that increasingly requires searchlight intelligence. That is, the ability to connect the dots between people and ideas, where others see no possible connection.
	"The Best Leaders are Constant Learners" HBR

Dec 4 Webinar -- we're excited to introduce you to Yuri van Geest 10am ET this coming Friday, more info below, but first...

Grand Prix Racer's Miracle -- Juan Manuel Fangio's evasive move, which likely saved his life, in the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix is part of racing folklore. The fact he looked at a photo of a similar accident the day before let him connect the dots and avoid a major collision. The specific thing he noticed in the photo is detailed in this HBR article titled "The Best Leaders are Constant Learners" - worth 15 seconds to read the opening story. Then keep reading.

Scalable Learning -- further notes this HBR article:

John Hagel, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davidson have described the shift...from institutions designed for scalable efficiency to institutions designed for scalable learning. Sustainable competitive advantage depends on having people that know how to build relationships, seek information, make sense of observations and share ideas through an intelligent use of new technologies."

Let's unpack this:

1. Build Relationships - who has access to the most brains quickly
2. Seek Information - it's about remaining curious
3. Make Sense of Observations - connecting the dots through extensive training and experience
4. Share Ideas --through an intelligent use of new technologies - are you up to speed?

These are the important skills of the 21st Century - the same skills we're using to thwart terrorists and stay ahead of competition. Thanks to Chris Kenny, Gazelles International Certified Coach, for bringing this HBR article to my attention.
