I’m preparing to head south on my annual migration to the southern hemisphere for the March MBA starter workshop in Johannesburg.
As usual, I’m reflecting (pre-flecting?) on what’s to come, on how I’ll work with colleagues and new members of the MBA, what state of mind I want them to be in at various points, and so on…
It occurred to me, not for the first time, that reflection is not possible except when we are able to distinguish it as such, which means differentiating it from that which is not reflection. The two are interdependent and inextricably linked. This is how we find the outline of one, against the other. Hardly earth shattering? Maybe. Yet a crucial point precisely because we take it for granted.
So how do we know the difference, in general? This is occupying me, so I may return to this over the coming days as I blog the workshop.
