Less Overthinking More Innovation

General George Patton once said, “No plan escapes first contact with the enemy.’ “Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face,’ said former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. So, where did our passion of meticulous preparation originate from? Our evolutionary addiction to resources helps us understand. We perform better when we feel comfortable, secure, in control, and protected from risk. In truth, the more we try to control and regulate apparent risk, the more exposed and at risk we are. That’s partially because we grow less alert as we feel more secure.
