Actually I just realized something else about my recent epiphany and how it relates to an experience from my past.
Back when I played World of Warcraft a couple of decades ago, a small group of my friends and I joined a guild and transformed it.
We did this by joining their raid group and helping them to drop the bosses within the raid, which they had been stuck on for many months. We did this by letting them observe how we tackled the bosses with them.
What I’m talking about here is how tacit knowledge works.
Tacit knowledge is differently than explicit knowledge because you can’t just tell someone it. They have to observe you to understand the deeper meaning of the knowledge.
This is the same thing going on with my work. I can’t explain it easily because it’s effectively tacit knowledge.
Instead I have to embody it, so people can observe it.
BTW the exact very same thing occurs within organizations that transform themselves through organizational development.
You can’t explain to conventional organizations how things work in these evolved organizations because they just won’t comprehend it.
This is something Ricardo Semler mentioned in his book The Seven-Day Weekend.
Instead, you need the people within these conventional organizations to be immersed within the evolved organization to fully understand it.
Again you can’t talk about it. You have to embody it and show people it.
