The last chapter of the book really takes the make to kno concept and tries to explore implications for how we live and when it comes to leadership. Am i came across this story that hat had a profound effect on me. It goes like that, there was a very dangerous intersection in a town in northern holland,. There were cars crashing into other there were pedestrians that were being hit. And so his whole philosophy was, don't put more on to this intersection. In fact, take away, open up the space. The best we can do as leaders, i think, is to create roundabouts which allow people to be makers in the process of what the organization needs to be.
When we see Michaelangelo's David or the design of the Apple Store, we assume a genius with a predetermined vision was the key to the outcome. Yet as Lorne Buchman, author of Make to Know, tells EconTalk's Russ Roberts, great art is more about embracing the process of exploration and the results that emerge in the process of creating. Buchman makes the case for embracing uncertainty in both leadership and life.
