Getting smart about the hierarchy of smart
Subscribe to the good words of Seth Godin
The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition posits that there are five stages people go through:
1. Novice
–wants to be given a manual, told what to do, with no decisions possible
2. Advanced beginner
–needs a bit of freedom, but is unable to quickly describe a hierarchy of which parts are more important than others
3. Competent
–wants the ability to make plans, create routines and choose among activities
4. Proficient
–the more freedom you offer, the more you expect, the more you’ll get
5. Expert
–writes the manual, doesn’t follow it.
If you treat an expert like a novice, you’ll fail.

Defer to others
Avoid shortcuts
Tell the truth
Offer kindness
Seek alliances
Volunteer to take the short straw
Choose the long-term, sacrificing the short
Demonstrate respect to all, not just the obviously strong
Share credit and be public in your gratitude
Risking the appearance of weakness takes strength. And the market knows it.
TED – Nicholas Christakis – Social
“After mapping humans’ intricate social networks, Nicholas Christakis and colleague James Fowler began investigating how this information could better our lives. Now, he reveals his hot-off-the-press findings: These networks can be used to detect epidemics earlier than ever, from the spread of innovative ideas to risky behaviors to viruses (like H1N1).”
This TED talk will drastically change my future.
