79) Magic, Motorcycles, and Mandelbrot: Part 3 - Mandelbrot

When you shift from Motorcycle thinking to Mandelbrot thinking, then problems take on a different dimension.  Instead of thinking about “the solution” that you need to Invent and then apply over the world and change everything, Mandelbrot thinking is about “the processes” we need to set in motion, in order to SHIFT the way the world organizes itself.  

It’s such a subtle distinction, but it filters through everything profoundly.  For example, think of the difference between a boss/parent/teacher, who is very clear, and structured, disciplined and powerful, versus a boss/parent/teacher who is a true collaborator, encourager, mentor, and role model.  Think of the difference between “doing to” and “doing with.”
