Ahead of thinking. How to see a new trend before others. Barker Joe.

It is impossible to manage the past: it has already passed irrevocably. To manage the present means just responding to events. You can only manage the future, but for this you need to be able to anticipate it: what new products will appear in a few years, how the market will behave, what new opportunities and threats can arise. The ability to notice the emerging trend before others, to develop ahead of thinking is a key skill of a modern successful leader, politician, and scientist. To learn how to do this, you do not have to be a magician or a wizard. It is only necessary to learn how to see the systemic relationship between phenomena and understand the concept of paradigm, that is, a system of views and ideas, within the framework of which we perceive the actions of our colleagues and competitors, market behavior. The famous futurologist Joel Arthur Barker explains how to develop the skill of leading thinking and learn how to see weak signals where no one else intends to look for them.
