The secret behind being effortlessly successful
Successful leaders and teams use information that you can’t see, but
does exist. Information that brings movement. For every plan you make or
decision you take, you require information. There are numerous types of
information available, with lots of different sources. Most people use only the
source providing rational, analytical information, information that is visible.
Successful leaders and teams also use other information, tapped from a very
different source, information that’s beyond the invisible. When you add this
information to your plans and decisions, you achieve your goals more easily
because the information you now have is richer. Moving Questions give you easy
access to this extra information.
Analytical and systemic
In the analytical domain you find information about facts and about
events. It’s visible. You work with examples and details. You use all of this
information to analyse how something works. A process, a product, an idea or a
journey you want to make: you identify the parts, explore them and look at how
they relate to each other. Based on this, you make a decision, or arrive at an
idea. You try to solve the problem yourself. Which brings you a long way. And
for the major part of your life, you indeed use information from this domain.
Successful leaders, teams, products or people also use something else.
They make use of a very different source of information. This source is in the
systemic domain. Beyond the visible. Moving Questions derive information from
the systemic domain. In the systemic domain you work based on the assumption
that the parts (of a process, product or idea) together form a whole. That
whole has its own characteristics, which are completely unique. Because all the
parts are together, something new is formed. Which is why, in the systemic
domain, you don’t explore the parts but the whole, the connections between the
parts and what can flow through them. In the analytical domain you want more
details and information, you zoom in. In the systemic domain you explore the
context, you zoom out.
Solving a problem in one go
The secret of solving a problem in one go is simple: use information
from both the analytical domain and the systemic domain. The information from
the analytical domain tells you what the problems are, the information from the
systemic domain tells you their cause. You use both information about facts and
details, and about what they’re part of and which invisible connections there
are. The fastest way to get information from the systemic domain is by asking
questions. Questions that bring movement. The questions bring movement by
making different connections to those made by questions looking for details and
facts.
