My recommendation to you as you progress through the slides in the 14 Lectures.
As each slide contains the complex relationships that exists for that slide; based on your individual ability to capture the information as it is presented, you can hit the pause button and take your time to read again this set of complex and ambiguous context, then, hit the start button to resume the presentation.
Each slide should be processed at the speed that is comfortable for you to SEE and LEARN the complex relationships.
The course contains 4 hours 22 minutes of video content uploaded. The value to you can be increased by extending your time to repeat to yourself the complex relationships you are learning on each slide.
When you experience multiple complex relationships on one slide first see and learn the new relationship and then combine the multiple relationships. Work this process through the course of the 14 Lectures.
When you get to utilizing the Adaptive Business Leadership Context you will find that the Complexity, Ambiguity and Change that you end up with in this week's opportunity to excel, you will know where in the Course Context the relationships you need to find and renew you knowledge of before you jump into your next big opportunity. It won't take long for you to do. It only covers what you SEE and THINK about this big opportunity. It gives you a lead over others in the battles of what should be done to win.
You will accelerate your performance utilizing this Adaptive Business Leadership when you get to performing in the view of your Employees and the combine Managers who you work with and for.
What do I do when my Business Changes? Where do I start? Getting out of the ditch -NOW!
Why? So, I can achieve my Expected Business Results and they won't take my Job or my Business.
How? Make my assumptions come true. All plans are all assumptions forecasting the future.
What? Find the hidden problem(s); that is where you will find your causal behaviors.
Don't chase the symptom(s); they are just the must do activities unrelated to causal behaviors.
