Coach Pāṇini ®<p>For folks who’ve “done the work” and have a better understanding of their own biases and motivations, “challenging defaults” is a "dialectical" method, relying on a contradictory process between opposing sides (thesis + antithesis = synthesis).<br> <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/cutlefish/p/tbm-4952-pyramid-of-leadership-selfother?r=4hxgy&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_campaign=post" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/cutlefis</span><span class="invisible">h/p/tbm-4952-pyramid-of-leadership-selfother?r=4hxgy&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_campaign=post</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leadership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/motivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>motivation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/selfinterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfinterest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/productmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>productmanagement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/organizationaldesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>organizationaldesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/incentives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incentives</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bias</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/perspective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>perspective</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/dialect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dialect</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/hegeliandialectic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hegeliandialectic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/thesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thesis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/antithesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antithesis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/synthesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>synthesis</span></a></p>
