Reflection
I found the reading as a whole very intriguing. The section about the two reactions to breakdown really struck a cord with me because that is what is seen in the media today, muddlers and people attempting to fight back. The author's Third view makes a lot of sense, humans as a species cannot continue to do what we are doing. Moving forward and thinking/learning in the future seems to be an interesting approach because the author is right in saying that looking to the past does not solve present and future challenges. I also agreed with his idea that a leader is not necessarily always the person in charge. In the introduction, a few of the concepts were a little difficult to grasp but I know they will be covered in further detail in later readings. The idea of figuring out your blind spot and where you operate from makes sense. It seems to be along the similar lines of the phrase "where you are coming from" just with an even deeper meaning. The section that was most interesting to me was when he described the Structure of our attention and the 4 basic types of listening. The way he gave examples assisted in explaining the concept and its differences.
