Studying and all that Jazz

So here I am, post the PhD and the associated pressure, wanting to think about creativity, self-organising systems, flow and leadership.

I am not sure where this will go, except that the beginning is very important. The four talking points in the opening sentence can be fleshed out with a pair of subsidiary indicators. Thus: Creativity (Van Gogh and Piccasso), Self-Organising Systems (conversations and friendships), Flow (enjoyment and friction-free work, Csikszentmihalyi and Amabile) and Leadership (hefting sheep and taking people where they have never been before).
