Where could those 4 pages possibly go next? Welll.... right now they go to:
Each of those “with credit to” quotes (ie what is quoted on the pages upthread), contains an important idea (or set thereof). And as with anything “systemsy,” interaction across ideas (and with context, in this case your thinking-understanding and its history), gives rise to new ideas.
And that brings us back to this page..
And pretty soon you have over 500 pages — and it’s still incomplete!!!
fanf42@RuthMalan oh yes please, these resources are awesome!
@fanf42 thank you!! I needed to hear that today *in particular*
Some of the ideas are here, but i do need to update it to latest version : https://ruthmalan.com/Leadership/20221031TechnicalLeadership.pdf
Another important cluster of ideas:
Continuing the cluster (exploring system integrity and conceptual integrity):
Which gets us to the ideas from this thread: https://mastodon.social/@RuthMalan/112462518849147839
And Mary Parker Follett. Again. :)
@RuthMalan thanks 🤩
At least I read Meadows and MMM 😅
You can't imagine how /impactful/ it is to have so many big ideas of a domain sum up in that one page format. It conveys enough nuances / details to get a raw idea of the Big Idea without getting lost in hundreds-page books (which will worth it most of the time, but perhaps not at that time or in that order).
So yes, really, thank you. I will perhaps even be able to use them as introduction points in my team
@fanf42 yes! Thank you! For seeing and saying that! I try to make pages that can act alone, and together in chunks, and add up to something overall that is… a shift…
@fanf42 drawing on the works referenced, so that it “expands” in directions folk have already been, or might be intrigued to go :)
@RuthMalan it's really, deeply appreciated 🫶
