Reply to: RE>Beginner's mind LO7274
Thanks, Dave, for reinvigorating this discussion, to which I feel obliged
to add several observations.
1. In fact-based business practice, there is probably impetus away from
beginner's mind to knowledge accumulation. This basic movement toward
facts decreases ability to START with a beginner's mind when embarking on
a new task. Ironic.
2. Responsibility in my manufacturing organization is disconnected or
disassociated from the idea that the more you know, the less you know. We
have to Do, with a capital D; otherwise, we don't generate income to
support ourselves. In order to do, you obtain, hold on to, and sometimes
disseminate with calculation, information and knowledge.
I find this characteristic interesting and against my gut beliefs. I try
to do something about it.
3. I have not read recent books about running a business organization
with a soulful, of God-recognizing, or spiritual approach. Can principles
espoused contained in these apply to line workers? Must they if
supervisors want to generate successes in business?
