Thinking together is not a new idea. What is new is the increasing complexity within which groups work as information flows more quickly, demanding more immediate attention than ever before. Transient organizational affiliations add to this complexity as employees move among and between roles, teams, and employers. As a result, groups need to continually create and re-create themselves, stimulated by provocative questions and rich resources.
We have to change our mindset in order to address current realities. Doing the same thing over and over is what Einstein called insanity. Education has changed. Our communities and students have changed. Leadership needs to catch up with those changes.
