Your potential is capped by your ability to think
Are You the Chief Problem Solver, or the Strategic Architect?
Most senior and mid-career leaders hit a plateau not because they lack effort, talent, or intelligence but because they are trapped in First-Order Thinking.
They see a problem, apply a "quick fix," and hope they get an immediate result.
But in a volatile, non-linear world, the "quick fix" is a liability. It creates Cobra Effects; unintended consequences that mutate your culture, bureaucratize your systems, and erode your competitive edge.
If you feel like you are "In Over Your Head," it’s because your organizational complexity has exceeded your current mental models.
Stop fixing. Start designing. Break through the cognitive ceiling with Fourth and Fifth Order Thinking.
