How Good Designers Think

Happy Friday!

With all of the newness in our New AGU, I find myself having to approach many things differently, including schedules, work and staff. With that approach comes new perspectives that often conflict with my experiences in the not-so-distant past. This time last year, I was just beginning to pay attention to RPTS reports (now my AGU bible!), there was no standard telework policy, and I think we had just moved from Thunderbird to Outlook as our email system. I have constantly reinvented myself to adapt to the changes, and I challenge myself to remain flexible for future changes. With my new roles and responsibilities, I now have to manage the involvement of my direct reports, and be a constructive voice for indirect reports, all of whom may be feeling varying levels of apprehension with so many changes to our professional landscape. The way that I present changes may differ from the way that change is perceived. This article, How Good Designers Think, is an excellent read for anybody that may need to unlock learned behaviors and think outside of the box.

Have a great weekend!
