The document discusses lateral thinking techniques for generating new ideas. It provides examples of applying random words to different contexts to spark new ideas. It encourages generating as many options as possible without premature judgment. Some specific techniques discussed are practicing random stimulation, identifying underlying concepts, challenging assumptions, suspending judgment, performing fractionation and reversal of conventional approaches. The overall message is that creativity benefits from exploring alternatives beyond initial responses and considering problems from different perspectives.
Trinity Kings World Leadership: Decision Making: The Fast Way to Gain Leaders...Terrell Patillo
Wisdom is crucial for effective decision making, especially in difficult situations like impasses in committee meetings. The person with wisdom will be able to draw a conclusion that works and gains approval. Proverbs 1 describes wisdom as crying out publicly, so we must seek wisdom and build a friendship with her. When making decisions, we should honor God, consider our values, avoid ungodly counsel, pursue understanding all the facts and options, and aim for inward peace.
The document discusses different types of roads and asks the reader to think about how their workshop skills are like a certain type of road. It also includes quotes about learning, communication, and leadership to prompt reflection on applying these topics to the reader's work. The questions are meant to engage participants in the workshop and get them thinking critically about their skills, goals, and interactions with others.
The document discusses how the author's 14-year-old son has recently discovered classic songs by David Bowie and others from the past. This gets the author thinking about how wisdom and insights from leaders of the past, though old, are still relevant today. The author then shares quotes on business and management from Mark McCormack, Peter Drucker, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Marcus Tullius Cicero that provide lessons still applicable despite being decades old. The document encourages revisiting classics from the past which, while old, contain very cool insights.

11 Lessons For Living A Good Life
1. Every problem is an
opportunity for
a creative solution.
Listen to Tina Seelig’s talk, “What I wish
I knew when I was 20” on the Stanford
Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Series
(iTiunes) for a really interesting
challenge involving a 5 dollar bill
(and for the inspiration for all the
remaining slides).
2. ...research shows that people can increase their luck by consciously practicing being lucky. Lucky people are
magnetic socially—they draw people in around them. Other people find them attractive and inviting largely because
of their body language and facial expressions.Lucky people smile twice as much as unlucky people, and they
engage in a lot more eye contact. Their body language is warm and open: They keep their arms uncrossed, and they
often display open palms. Lucky people talk to strangers. Lucky people greet strangers in coffee shops, talk to
people in lines, chat with fellow airline passengers. Being relaxed helps us be attuned to opportunities around us. On
the other hand, stress makes us inattentive and unobservant. People who are made anxious in experiments become
less able to spot details, even those that are right in front of their noses. When we are relaxed, we are more likely to
notice when a lucky opportunity comes our way. (From Christine Carter, PhD)
The harder I
work, the
luckier I get.
3. Find the sweet spot.
(Note: Passions are necessary, but are not suf cient.)
10. Make others on your team successful.
It might feel like you are giving away power, but you’re not. The more you
make others successful, the more it comes back to you many many fold.
