Thought Tweet #662

Thought Tweet #662 Unknowns: it's a good thing we only have to deal with them when we solve problems, do tasks, & think creatively.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

I've read there are 3 types of knowledge:

  • knowledge we know we know
  • knowledge we know we don't know
  • knowledge we don't know we don't know
If we didn't have those things we know then everything would be unknown.

@GKWCC #CEOP2P: TRUST - if you don’t have trust at your organization it is pretty difficult to discern what’s real.

On Jan 29, 2013

The @GKWCC #P2P series of thought tweets contains ideas, quotes, & suggestions provided by local business leaders at "CEO Peer-to-Peer" group meetings, sponsored by the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce.

The goals of the thought tweets: to help local business leaders and to promote the sharing of business thoughts.

The thoughts expressed are not opinions of the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce...they are opinions of local business leaders who are Chamber members and participate in the Chamber's CEO P2P program.
