Putting Pieces Together
"In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.:- Johann Goethe
Adding a piece to another piece has the potential to make both pieces more meaningful and stronger or meaningless and weaker. So what is the magic ingredient that makes the connection stronger?
Consider three ideas:
1. Mastery is a journey that requires you strive to reach a higher level. Each level reached gets longer and longer.
2. How you practice on the plateaus is critical to whether you ever reach the next level.
3. Creating a leading and lagging indicators for next level is necessary in order to reach the next level.
These three ideas are from three different books. The first book shows us what the mastery curve looks like but offers no method as to what to do on the plateau. So the idea of how you practice on the plateau makes the two concepts stronger.
Now adding the idea from four disciplines of execution, my4DX.com, gives us a way to set up the actions that would formulate the what actions we execute during practice.
The conclusion is that the pieces have to fit naturally in order to make the connection stronger. By themselves these three pieces are OK but the fit has to make them stronger. Just knowing the map does not mean we will get to mastery. Similarly, knowing how we practice is important does not mean we will know what actions to take. By understanding the right levers to pull we will improve our practice. This will set us up to measure our progress and get to the next level.
Today's question is:
"How do you know when pieces fit and make the connection stronger?"
