Simmons Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:32:04 +0000 http://www.bretlsimmons.com/?p=1936#comment-2048 Thanks for following the series, Tanveer. I'm actually not a big fan of "practical examples." I wish more people would struggle with the abstract concepts and learn how to then make their own applications. I'm interested in contributing to the development of thinkers that can take these ideas to the next level, not copying what I've been able to do with them. But that's just me :) Thanks!

It's been very informative and I especially enjoyed this final entry where you've tied all the concepts you discussed in this series into a practical example of the common workplace. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight on this. Bret,

Its very aligned with a recent post I wrote about the fact that you can't change others.....so change yourself (your thinking, your beliefs, your behavior). One of my favorite questions to ask a client when they are complaining and blaming others is "What's your role (or responsibility) in that?". Bret, I love this.
