1. Approach each critical task with an explicit goal of getting much better at it. Set goals that are just beyond your level of competency.
2. As you do the task, focus on what’s happening and why you’re doing it the way you are.
3. After the task, get feedback on your performance from multiple sources. Don’t get emotional about it, and make changes in your behavior as necessary.
4. Continually build mental models of your situation – of your industry, Praxis, your career. Expand the models to encompass more factors.
5. Do those steps regularly, not sporadically. Occasional practice does not work. Consistency is the key.

PROBLEM BEING ADDRESSEDPROBLEM BEING ADDRESSED
Conflict Is a Conflict Is a GOODGOOD Thing…Thing…
“Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to
observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It
shocks us out of sheep like passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.”
John DeweyJohn Dewey
“Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it
literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were
created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an
opportunity.”
