THE EYE OPENER

Over the years people we define as the greats in their professions have all shared one common trait. They have all had the ability to think past the opposition, be it animate or inanimate, to anticipate the next step in the event cycle before the competition solves the problem. Plato, Miles Davis, Lord Acton, Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart, Martha Stewart, The Beatles, Deng Xiao Ping, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Walton Lillehei all can be classified as great thinkers. Are they different than you? The answer is no. Their desire and need to accomplish their tasks were stronger than their fear of failure. They simply focused on the task at hand until the desired result was accomplished.

Great thinkers have thick skin, great memories, and strong emotions. Being thick-skinned is a big plus for dealing with all of life's many rejections. The greats in the profession of sales have the same traits. They focus on the prospect’s real-problem, letting nothing deter them, and the only emotion is one of winning. Apply the different types of thinking methods to problems you seek to solve in the coming weeks. Each time you encounter a problem identify your thinking solution and solve the problem using either system, creativity or cybernetics thinking. This will enact true thinking out of the box.

System thinking. System thinking is a perspective that helps us see and understand the big picture in new ways. Traditional analysis focuses on separating the individual pieces of what is being studied; in fact, the word "analysis" actually comes from the root meaning "to break into constituent parts."

Creativity thinking. Channeling creativity creates innovation and improvement. First, we must analyze the problem; then we must generate possible solutions; next we must choose and implement the best solution; and finally, we must evaluate the effectiveness of the solution. As you can see, this process reveals an alternation between the two kinds of thinking, critical and creative. In practice, both kinds of thinking operate together much of the time and are not really independent of each other.

Cybernetics thinking. The study of information, cybernetics, helps us understand feedback and improve decision making. It is the art of steersmanship, of regulation and stability. The concern here is with function not construction, in providing regular and reproducible behavior in the presence of disturbances. Here the emphasis is on families of solutions, ways of arranging matters that can apply to all forms of systems, whatever the material or design employed. It is the science of the black box, in which the how is irrelevant and only the what matters. Before you present that next proposal to that prospect ask yourself the following questions. Did I
