As an expert, you should focus on understanding the core (essence) of things.
Do you know the difference between a method and understanding?
Think about making bread. A method(recipe) tells you to mix flour, water, yeast, and salt, then bake it in the oven. Understanding involves knowing the science behind the ingredients and the bread, like biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics. A method is something you follow as taught by others. It has limits. Understanding, on the other hand, becomes your own. It allows you to explore and expand in different ways. <semiconductor expert Jim Keller says>
If you only rely on methods, you won't be able to adapt when a situation changes or when new challenges arise.
But if you understand the core, you can handle various situations and changes.
However, you don't need to understand the essence of everything. We don't have enough time to study everything.
But for the important things, it's crucial to think about the core.
By understanding the essence of these important tasks, you can achieve great results and grow better.
If you’re a leader, you need to know the core of leadership.
Don’t just follow the countless methods out there. The essence of leadership is "the Force to lead an organization."
If you're in HR, you should understand the core of Human Resources.
This requires understanding people and energy.
That’s why I try to understand leadership and HR through the physics of force and energy.
