Bradbury on jumping off

"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Buid your wings on the way down.'' Ray Bradbury

I like this because it is descriptive of a certian leadership style - one that I find very satisfying. The way to grow leaders and find solutions is by jumping in - even (or especially) when there are few answers. Through a process of 'going' everything becomes clearer new methodologies are produced - in real time with real results (good or bad).

In my view, nothing develops leaders better than deployment.
