In this episode of the Second Life Method podcast, Kelly talks about dialectical thinking in business and in life. What this actually means is more or less the ability to consider conflicting views as both being true, such as it’s Spring and it’s snowing. One example Kelly gives is Disney and Pixar, who both were creating children’s entertainment, but seemed to have values that were at different ends of the spectrum early on. Because of a dialectic thinker, they were able to bring the two studios together and eventually merge them into one, which has since produced many of the beloved films we know today. Tune in to learn more important lessons about this way of thinking as an entrepreneur!
“Don’t fall into this trap and this habit of thinking that things are linear. It’s all over the place, but in a beautiful harmonious way, and the good news is that business starts to gain a momentum that you can feed into, and this momentum and these needed changes seem to become clearer at the right time. It’s like driving down the road, objects are coming into view as you need to see them and you’re making adjustments in real time. Business is no different.” 8:13
