- 14. Autonomy “Perhaps it’s time to toss the very word ‘management’ into the linguistic ash heap alongside ‘icebox’ and ‘horseless carriage’. This era doesn’t call for better management. It calls for a renaissance of self-direction.” Daniel Pink “The course of human history has always moved in the direction of greater freedom. And there’s a good reason for that- because it’s in our nature to push for it.” Richard Ryan George Hendley Presentations

Mastery is: A Mindset- It begins with how you see the challenge... A Pain- Requires both effort and time, but more time (10 years...) An Asymptote- A place or goal always being strived for, but never fully reached George Hendley Presentations
