Embrace Imagination to Escape Incrementalism

Leaders often get trapped in distractive environments and focus excessively on efficiency, falling into the Jevons paradox, which narrows their thinking and stifles creativity. A lack of engagement with imaginative literature, like science fiction, hinders their capacity for innovative thoughts.

It is essential to differentiate between meaningful progress and the delusion of progress, where default thinking obstructs significant advancements, perpetuating a cycle of incrementalism.
