Ease creates; urgency destroys.
Ease, an internal state free from rush or urgency, creates the best conditions for thinking.
But Ease is being systematically bred out of our lives. Ease is seen to be the enemy of the fast profit, the you-are-what-you-have-and-whom-you-control working world. The world seems, in fact, to select the urgency-addicted leaders to drive our organizations. Other models of leadership are "sterilized out."
However, if we want people to think well under impossible deadlines and inside the injunctions of faster, better, cheaper, more, we must cultivate internal ease.
This takes the particular discipline of a Thinking Environment, and it takes a preference for quality over the rush of adrenaline.
