My view is that leadership thinking can be based on a simple formula of three imperatives:
Escape + Search = Think
Escape + Search = Think
Escape + Search = Think

Post your comment on how you think
ESCAPE + SEARCH = THINK might help
you to become a much better leader.
innovation in leadership!
E+S=T.THIS IS A CONTINOUS PROCESS..OF DEVELOPMENT.EACH TIME YOU COMPLETE A ROUND OF CVS+10=BVS YOU ENTER ANOTHER ROUND OF CVS+10=BVS.BECAUSE THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE IS LIKE AN UPWARD MOVEMENT ON THE SPIRAL OF KNOWLEDGE.NO REAL LEADER CAN AFFORD TO BE BEHIND HIS OR HER PEOPLE.THIS WAY YOUR PEOPLE LOOK UP TO YOU ,DEVELOP TRUST AND CAN DEPEND ON YOU.
i always saw two sides to a problem, now i can see many more sides
e+s=t helps me to improve relationship with others, for me it is essential part of leadrship development.
My new BVS :-I will ask How can I become a better leader? when I interact with others.
Our cvs probably originated in a context in which it was an adequate point of view, given our cognitive and emotional maturity at the time. After that, it become less useful, especially in other contexts. Because it has survival value, we hold to it. You see this in people who “need to right” rather than effective at producing results. If we can obtain a more accurate cvs, then we are better able to get to our bvs.
In thinking, however, we can’t become or remain emotionally attached to our cvs, allowing it to limit what we think is possible. To me, “escaping” means not being governed or imprisoned by our cvs. It does NOT mean that we ignore or deny current reality. It DOES mean that we are not tied to it in identifying our desired reality. Our bvs is our desired reality. We will have difficulty identifying and selecting a desired reality (the search) if we are imprisoned within a certain conceptual framework or belief system.
What is (current reality) IS. It exists independent of one’s feelings about it. Acknowledging current reality in an accurate manner provides the platform from which accomplishment becomes not only possible, but probable.
What can be is invented or created by us, not as necessarily an extension of the past (current reality) but certainly informed by it.
All the advancement of human civilization is mainly driven by BVS. Many people do it without knowing CVS2BVS. But essentially it is a sheer desire to do something better. And this cycle is of-course endless. So CVS2BVS is not 10 times; it could be infinite.
Now let me share something with you. What I am going to share is worth a million dollar!!
When we advise others to THINK; we do not tell them how to start this process of thinking. Many of us know this trick of how to trigger the process of thinking. But for those who do not know; to them I will tell you that in one single statement HOW it is done and you got a million dollar advice.
Just hold on for a while before I tell you the secret!
We know that our brain is a pattern making device. But it does NOT possess the power of STARTING the process of thinking.So, how do we set into action the process of thinking; which as we understand, our brain is supposed to do?
Now goes the answer : JUST ASK A QUESTION and your brain will immediately start scanning the pattern ( which we call it as ANSWER ) it has earlier printed in the brain and it will find a pattern which answers the question.
It short; just ask a question and you will see how your brain starts scanning ( Thinking ) and gives a thousand possibilities and scenarios or BVS.
I tell myself lucky that I know how to trigger my brain to set into motion to get BVS; more BVS and endless chain of BVS……
It is a great tool. ASK A QUESTION: this is the CVS ( Current View of the Situation) Mr.Brain; please tell me the BVS. And you will see what happens.
I want to warn you at this point when you adopt this such a powerful tool in your life; people will start disbelieving you because you can see an array of solutions. People will tell you that you are oversimplyfying the problem.
People love to see this world as complex and complicated one. They cannot believe that this CVS2BVS can bring such a big change in their life.They don’t believe in trying something new.If they at all try; they will not believe that it works.
Trust me it DOES work. I will tell you my story later. But at this point buy this one idea free, and get a million dollar: Ask a question: this is my CVS; what is the BVS?
If you don’t find anything within yourself ;let me know and I will give you a million dollar !!
Thanks Michael ( I will not give you anything for millions cannot buy what you have taught.)
To escape from your current thinking can sometimes be quite difficult as it requires acknowledging that one has not in fact reached the best solution. That there is always something better than your first thought and the ego can get in the way of progress, so ‘escape’ is a very apt term.
Search is obvious in that once you acknowledge there is something better, one needs to search for that better solution.
All of this requires thinking and should result in improved thinking.
Escape+Search=Think helps to keep the ideas flowing and not get stuck with one way of doing something. Everything can be improved in some way and this is a tool to help find the improvements.
So through the continuous effort of repeating this pattern it aligns your brain in such a way as to see the obvious thing that no one else sees.
If we accept our current view of the situation we can never learn and grow, it is only by consistently escaping and searching that we can see the options. A widened view, an expanded view. Repetition is key to making it a habit.
Many times we feel locked in a situation. Doing the cvsxbvs, it is possible to find not only a way out, but a much better way to do things than we ever thought was possible
