ThinkSystem: Navigating Project & Business Innovation · Building the Execution Engine: Transactional Leadership as Organizational InfrastructureBy Carlos Raul Muñoz Jr.
Continued thread

And most of the systems can only be influenced at most. Coming to terms with that is one of the most liberating feelings.

It's not giving up as often wrongly perceived. "Powering through" doesn't help - effect is just the opposite.
It's acknowledging the complexity of reality and limitations of your current mental model of it to learn to dance better with it.

ThinkSystem: Navigating Project & Business Innovation · Transformational Leadership: Igniting Vision in SystemsBy Carlos Raul Muñoz Jr.

#dataArchitects and #projectManagers and #systemsThinking people.... I'm checking in to see if people have tools they like for documenting their long term planning. I certainly have wikis and spreadsheets and they may really be the answer to publication and dissemination as I collect lists of every codebase in my purview and its known annual basic maintenance requirements. Anyone got thoughts about keeping track of over arching basic maintenance costs on teams (yes yes, I can ticket things, but this is the stage of the work before there are tickets). I am perfectly aware that tools don't solve these problems -- good old fashioned thought and note taking solves these problems, but I'm dithering over where and how to create some long-lived public artifacts and am curious if people like anything better than a wiki.

This is a really cool read. Not entirely sure if there are any practical implications, except that maybe we humans should stop trying to look for simplifying narratives everywhere and start appreciating and embracing diversity in everything.

Oh, I guess that's practical..

Quanta Magazine · Why Everything in the Universe Turns More Complex | Quanta MagazineA new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

I"ve started to go down a level of detail in my book on social systems for a better world.

First is a chapter on "Countries in Context", describing the border and interactions with external entities such as other countries, global corporations and the like.

Still at a high level; there is too much to say to fit into one chapter. I may just try to finish the book at about this level of detail, then provide additional details on the same site, with links but outside the linear narrative of a book

I need to find a path back to the core study of #philosophy that sustains me. It feels too distant. No, #AI #LLM tools won’t be part of that - because if the fundamental flaw in the method and capability.
I need an outlet, maybe that will be here. I am out of the habit of posting anywhere. Only returned to it this week.

The #epistemology and #systemsThinking based content needs to return to my brain.

My new blog post on updates to my book on understanding and changing the world.

After five days in hospital, and another five days without power because of an ice storm, I decided it was time to return in earnest to writing.

I rewrote the Introduction and the first main section “Humans and Other Persons” and restructured the whole Table of Contents.

Leadership isn’t just about personality.

It’s about structure. Influence. System behavior.

In my latest piece, I break down leadership styles as feedback architectures—and show how to realign them with today’s complexity.

ThinkSystem: Navigating Project & Business Innovation · We’re Back—And Ready to Dive Deeper Than EverBy Carlos Raul Muñoz Jr.

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.
