More Mental Oomph though Others!

Just go down diagonally... and see that without questions, targets, expectations, multiple resources and reflection, you would have stagnation,  Jared said. Stagnation's totally opposite of growth in Mita's Growth chart. Though Ellen Weber and I developed and used the Mita Growth chart extensively, we never saw what Jared saw twelve years later, just by tracing your finger through Mita's five missing steps.  And, stagnation is totally opposite of the growth you want, Jared smiled knowingly. It looked so very simple once Jared pointed it out. Why did we miss it?  Perhaps we were just too close to it...

People are more creative for others than for themselves, according to researchers Evan Polman and Kyle Emich.  The working principle is called  construal-level theory, which simply means we tend to think in more abstract terms about far-away problems (or problems belonging to people not as close to us) — and thinking in the abstract generates more creative solutions, Polman and Emich conclude.

Boost your business skill as a negotiator, manager, product designer, marketer or advertiser by:

1. Asking someone, in a coffee shop or anywhere else you might be in a line, for a solution.  
2. Naming your problem to a networked cloud online, you would have access to many remote people who will likely share a solution quite quickly.
3. Imagining you will solve the problem for someone else or coming up with words of advice for another professional in your circumstances. 

See what you get for answers.  And, while you're at it, let someone else do it for you!

After all, Jared had a very keen insight about Mita's Growth chart, and it was the first time he saw it.
