Abstract

Finally, we have arrived at the final chapter! We have detailed the elements of leading with uncommon sense—pause, introspect, and act—highlighting the reminders to be humble, be emotional, be “impolite,” and be uncertain. We have suggested ways to avoid the common traps that snag our thinking (Fig. 8.1).

Instructions for living a life:

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.
