Although a bit lengthy, this video is loaded with huge nuggets of information that challenge us to go beyond our "educated incapacity"--"knowing so much about what you already know that you are the last to be able to see the future for it differently." Weiner says we should look at things through the eyes of a child or alien (alien eyes). She gives huge insight into the past and glimpses into the future. She closes with a look at leadership and the obstacles that good leadership faces.
Take a moment to practice your critical thinking skills and listen to what she has to say. How can you lead for tomorrow today?
