Resistant Mindsets, Resilient Resets

In Psychology of Intelligence Analysis, Richards J. Heuer writes, “A mind-set is neither good nor bad. It is unavoidable. It is, in essence, a distillation of all that analysts think they know about a subject. It forms a lens through which they perceive the world, and once formed, it resists change.” There are myriad examples of resistant mindsets – of inaccurate mental maps that do not reflect the operational terrain – in business, particularly as you proceed up the corporate hierarchy.

Despite its appearance of ease, however, it is the one component

Kickstarter Campaign Claims to Have Developed 'Molecular Coffee:' But What Does That Actually Mean?

Kickstarter Campaign Claims to Have Developed 'Molecular Coffee:' But What Does That Actually Mean? When Carl Sagan said that "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," the observation was less on baked confections than it was on cosmic connectedness: the fact that everything in our universe emerged from something else. To truly make an apple pie – or anything else – from scratch, you'd have to first make each of its components, including those that you

How the Bleak New 'Game of Thrones' Teaser Relates to the Destruction of the Great Sept and the Wall

How the Bleak New 'Game of Thrones' Teaser Relates to the Destruction of the Great Sept and the Wall As we approach its 8th and final season, we've re-examined our coverage of Game of Thrones over the last four years, partly in search of clues as to how the series will play out when it premieres on April 14th and partly in search – perhaps in vain – of some underlying logic or law aside from Lex Talionis that might guide the show's jarring deaths, horrifying twists of fate, and unexpected resur
