Break free from Mental Barriers![Raja Chidambaram]

"The latticework of your mental model and all that it results in is your own doing" - this is just a sneak peek into all that Raja Chidambaram, a change and leadership enabler, got me (and our assumptions) thinking with!

What Raja elaborates extensively on is mental models, the frameworks for thinking with all our underlying assumptions from socialisation, values, beliefs, education, and experience. It's the WHY behind what makes us think as we do.

My learning: When a certain worldview dominates your thinking, you’ll try to explain every problem/decision through that worldview. Our mental model dictates us and ironically it’s created by us. Being conscious of our mental models allows us to view the world through more tried, tested, and unbiased lenses beyond our personal sphere of experience.

Often, the models can become barriers to change, rather than enablers.

So the onus of expanding our mental models to suit the waves of transformation and progress is on us. And from experience and expert advice, it doesn’t really require intelligence but more willingness and a strategy. Our mental models are imperfect (like us), but useful. Tune in to know how!
