"The problem is that all the data that our senses understand are meaningless in themselves, and without intrinsic value, because they do not come accompanied by instructions, so they do not tell us what we have to do," Lotto said in the lecture. We deal with uncertain things and things as certain, and we can consider almost every human behavior and perception as an attempt to uncover the unknown and reduce the lack of knowledge.
The global innovation expert, who is the founder and director of the Non-Adaptive Lab, said: "Anyone who is dizzy with the sea or any mental health problem is primarily due to lack of knowledge, which applies to individuals, institutions, cultures and communities, The most successful companies are usually the ones that reduce the lack of knowledge about the behavior of what we consider important, as Oper did. For example, it is not only successful because it enables us to request a taxi easier, but its real success is that it tells us when we will arrive at our destination , Which means they gave us the knowledge that we are comfortable with ».
"Despite the hatred of man for lack of knowledge, there is no innovation, and there is nothing really interesting to begin to know, but in fact everything that is amazing or innovative begins with a lack of knowledge through a question and not an answer, The quality of the question posed by one can be answered by finding a solution to a particular problem ».
"Since the human brain hates suspicion, most of our institutions and companies seek to reduce all that is really suspicious, so that the society is almost exclusively focused on efficiency, and avoids innovation because it begins with a lack of knowledge that raises doubts and fears," he said. Most successful systems are best able to adapt and focus on combining efficiency and innovation together.
"Why is innovation so difficult, even though it is necessary to survive?" He asked. Stressing that the answer to this question affects all aspects of life, from leadership and education to technology and even to the relationship between partners, families and friends.
"According to cognitive neuroscience, the brain did not evolve to see the world as it is, but we evolved to see a world that was useful to see, which means that everything we do and see is reflexive reactions based on individual and shared assumptions among us, That the roots of innovation are not about automatic inspiration, as much as they are about two deep human qualities - boldness and humility - that enable one to question what is supposed to be true.
"By using the principles on which the brain sees it, we can apply these principles to enable individuals and institutions to see differently, thus achieving prosperity and growth in the absence of knowledge."
3 attributes to success in leadership
Speaking about the principles that enable individuals and institutions to thrive in a state of uncertainty or uncertainty, Dr. Bu Lotto identifies three traits related to success in leadership: one being an example and the other being able to see the characteristics and attributes of others, while The latter must have the strength and audacity that makes him admit the error.
Lotto called on societies to change traditional education systems that rely on knowledge delivery and focus on competencies, replacing them with other systems based on innovation and asking deep questions rather than keeping answers, praising the level and imagination of Emirati students who met at one of his lectures recently.
