Episode notes
Material and Immaterial Reality Dance
- Reality consists of two intertwined worlds: material and immaterial, both equally real in Taoist view.
- Innovation progresses through the dance between what we imagine and what physically exists, influenced by language and perception.
Necessity of Creative Destruction
- Innovation requires creative destruction: the old must give way for the new to emerge and evolve.
- Resistance to change stalls progress until old beliefs or systems die or relinquish control.
Three Primal Forces of Change
- Successful innovation depends on understanding three primal forces: heaven (environment), earth (competitors and agents), and man (self and vision).
- Leaders must assess these forces to skillfully manage and execute change.
