Looking for Another Side

December 18, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

imageThe Phenomenology of Perception (Merleau-Ponty) is about relearning how to look at things, to understand more than one perspective. This is the art of envisioning.

The popular series The Queens Gambit (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10048342/) is not really about chess but about understanding the Phenomenology of … Learn more >>>>>

Data Cannot Drive Professionalism

Data Cannot Drive Professionalism

imageBeing professional is determined by an ethic not by labels, brands or spin. We know someone is professional by what they do not what marketing they employ. If someone brutalizes others, treats them like numbers (https://safetyrisk.net/data-cannot-drive-vision/), de-humanises and victimizes … Learn more >>>>>

Safety Crusading on Full Show

December 13, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

In the true tradition of only Safety knows best, safety tells (https://safetyrisk.net/xmas-safety-poem-safety-tells/), dumbs for safety (https://safetyrisk.net/dumbs-for-safety/) and this toaster is hot (https://safetyrisk.net/this-toaster-is-hot/) we have this one.

Data Cannot Drive Leadership

December 13, 2020 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

imageJust because someone says something is leadership doesn’t make it so. Similarly, it’s easy to label something as professional when it isn’t. Leading is either ethical or it isn’t leadership, you cannot have half-ethical leadership or a half ethical professional. Indeed, leadership without followership (https://www.humandymensions.com/product/following-leading-risk/ ) is simply one-way … Learn more >>>>>

Data Cannot Drive Vision

December 12, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

imageWe know that the things in life that we cannot count, count the most. We also know that the things we measure that don’t count are attributed with value when there is none. Numerics are not neutral but are attributed with meaning determined by one’s worldview.

Most of the things … Learn more >>>>>
