As a perpetual doer, it's good to be reminded to pause and take stock more often. I find myself often feeling if there are no changes or outcomes from meetings, then some potential has not been harnessed. But often thoughts and feels that are expressed can bounce around in your head and help you come up with a better solution. Your article reminds me of this
Totally! I think Hugh calls it “ambient work.” If he can’t solve an engineering problem, often the solution comes to mind after a shower and a good night’s rest. Same goes with strategy/design. If I feel stuck on a problem, just listening and inquiring helps me see it differently

During the past month or so I am actively and deliberately stripping down my process to listen, inquire, take a next step: it just feels good.
It does feel good! I need to strip mine down too. :) this approach feels so clean.
