Böcker av Matt Hess

I watched a David Lynch video in my "set-up," while he described his "set-up." I grabbed a pad of paper, and eventually a pen, and I began to write about my "set-up." It immediately evolved into choosing one word from the prior page, then on to the next page to write about that word while highlighting it on the prior page. A stream of consciousness that went on for 131 words until it naturally and beautifully concluded. It took a over six hours. These words were brought forward in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of the night, early in January 2021, like fluid poured onto the page from nowhere. The meditations have been refined countless times, but the chosen words were from that night. It felt magical. I'm not saying the writing is magical, but the process felt a little out of my hands, like magic feels to an audience. Although, I know it was just me...and the rest of the universe.

The stage on which leadership performs is dynamic, robust and in flux, and then in a moment's notice, the demand for simplicity, generality and stillness are called to center stage and the leader must rewrite the script on the fly. There are infinite potentialities for every leadership opportunity, but the magic happens when we know and choose the correct approach.
