I think when we learn to develop and teach people how to think right and how to do it, instead of telling them what to think and what to do – this is a big step in the right direction.
Listen to Fred Leland talk about the difference in teaching stimulus responses vs sense-making. He shares his journey on how he ended up reshaping his methods of teaching – instead of teaching how to think and do, he now teaches how to actually think and how to solve the problems. The goal is to get individuals to make better decisions and handle dynamic problems better.
