Thought Tweet #786 You think about how you act at work. Do you think about how you think at work?

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

While at work...

• you think
• you act

While at work...

• you act without thinking...i.e., your habits kick in and you act in rote ways, with very little or no thought
• you think then act...relying on your judgment to lead you to better action [i.e., action that takes you toward your desired goals]

Thinking about how you think is the essential ingredient for change and for innovation.

Stated in other words...

• if you do not think about how you think then it is highly unlikely you will broaden or deepen the way you think
• if you do not broaden or deepen the way you think then it is highly unlikely you will improve the way you take action
• if you do not improve the way you take action it is highly unlikely you will alter the results you achieve
