Easy vs Urgent vs Right - Part II

This is a continuation of my earlier article on the same topic. Lets dig deep into the rationale for obsession with the Easy / Urgent answers.
  1. All tenures have become short : Thanks to Gig economy, Millennials and the instant gratification trend, tenures have become short from CEO down to the lowest level. Everyone is out to an easy answer quickly.
  2. Curiosity : The innate desire of curiosity to explore/experiment the unknown, questioning have become a rare commodity.
  3. Abstractism: Abstractism as a skill is not being cultivated . Reusable modules/libraries/models/ideas, pre-cooked youtube videos for every topic, wikipedia and social media generated content means many neurons are not being activated.
  4. Business of ‘Busy’ness : The need to be busy/’seen to be busy’ has overtaken what is really important.
  5. Lack of imagination : And thats simply in short supply.
Unless one is able to overcome the above, one tends to always settle for the easy or the urgent answer and not necessarily the right one!This is a continuation of my earlier article on the same topic. Lets dig deep into the rationale for obsession with the Easy / Urgent answers.
