Discussion: Gathering the Right People to Handle Complexity
b"Josh, Cody, and Michelle talk about Monday's interview with David Komlos and David Benjamin, who recently wrote a new book, Cracking Complexity. Their discussion includes the difference between what is complex versus what is complicated (and which they tend to deal with more), whether they prefer things that are complicated or things that are complex, and some of the details related to getting enough people together (requisite variety) to solve complex problems. They also discuss the three iterations of the complexity formula and which they would be best at.\\nKey Takeaways:\\n- Value a variety of insight - look from what you can gain from others' perspectives, even if it's not expertise.\\n- Look internally before trying to get outside help.\\n- Variety destroys variety (the law of requisite variety) - it takes a good, capable team to handle complexity.\\n- When you're looking at a complex problem, form it as a question and then try to answer the question.\\n- Before trying to address a problem, determine if it is a complicated one or a complex, because each is handled differently.\\n- YOU have the ability to handle complexity. Make sure you get the right variety of information and people in your life to help you handle it rather than outsourcing the problem."
