TED: Atul Gawande: How do we heal medicine?
This isn't just about how we heal medicine. The lessons apply to how we build our organizations, economy, government - our systems - to handle complexity of modern times. It means individuals in these systems must embrace humility, discipline, and teamwork.

HBR: Why We Can't See What's Right in Front of Us - Tony McCaffrey
Compare to objective description of hand holds in climbing - objectifying makes seeing things easier.

"After studying creativity for many years, I've come up with a way to help break through functional fixedness, with what I call the generic parts technique. Break each object into its parts and ask two questions: Can it broken down further? Does your description imply a use? If so, describe it more generically. Calling something an iceberg generally implies hitting and sinking ships. Describing it more generically as a floating surface 200-400 feet long does not. This technique systematically strips away the layers of preconceived uses from the object and all its parts. My data show that along the way, alternative uses more easily emerge."
