When I was with Saturn they didn’t want to hire former “car people”. Saturn believed that they would not be willing to unlearn what they had learned in the existing car industry.

That is what gave me a chance at breaking into the business world.

I didn’t know much of anything.

But I had a “teachable spirit” and that was what they were looking for.

I think part of what prodigal’s waste is the “talent” to learn and change. We all have it. But we waste the our capacity for change by settling for hardening of the categories.

Always a delight to join in the conversations you launch here!
