Deeper Strategic Thinking
In the 10th anniversary issue of DesignIntelligence, I wrote an article titled “Why the Future Won’t Need Today’s Architects” that some of you thought was overly sensationalist.

The bottom line was that each leader and design organization must create a blueprint that goes beyond survival toward a new agile relevancy.

Truly creative people do things that, by definition, have not been done before. At the same time, each and every job is bounded by the parameters of budget and schedule, which provide the “predictive value” that clients demand.

If It’s Not Criticized, It’s Not Leadership
When you step into a leadership position you become the target of criticism and second-guessing, likely beyond what you are prepared for…It is a permanent price that you pay, so learn to cope with it.
