Episode notes
Protect Regular Think Time
- Schedule daily or weekly uninterrupted 'think time' to process work and development.
- Use that time to identify where to invest effort and which problems need deeper exploration.
Carve Out Space For Thoughtful Questions
- Create a safe space where colleagues can ask questions and take time to process answers.
- Ask Socratic, thoughtful questions and allow silence for others to deliberate and respond.
Deep Questions Trigger Deeper Thought
- Intellection's strength is asking deep, philosophical questions that prompt others to think more fully.
- Silence after a question is productive because listening shows thinking is happening.
