I am at a conference where Daniel Pink is speaking about why right-brainers will rule the world in the future. I very much enjoyed his talk and talking with him, having read some of his books.

In his "A Whole New Mind" he writes about 80 something old Sidney Harman who is a very successful businessman. Harman says he doesn't find it all that valuable to hire MBAs. Instead, he says, " Get me some poets as managers. Poets are our origninal systems thinkers. They contemplate the world in which we live and feel obliged to interpret and give expression to it in a way that makes the reader understand how that world turns. Poets, those unheralded systems thinkers, are our true digital thinkers. It is from their midst that I believe we will draw tomorrow's new business leaders."

Now that's an interesting thought!
