THE “CONTRAXIUMS”
Inspired by The Geek Leader’s Handbook, by Paul Glen, Maria McManus
Wanting something should be irrelevant in decisions
Wanting something isimportant in decisions
If you say something you don’t know to be true, you are lying
If you say something you know is untrue you are lying
Either/or thinking (black or white, good or evil)
Contextual thinking (shades of grey)
Future is looming; plan for worst
Future is promising; invite possibility
Knows in head, through analysis
Knows through gut feel
Language is for transmitting information
Language is for sharing meaning
Work is for solving problems Work is for achieving a vision
