Absolutely agree that we can't control all events &amp; that thinking that Project Management, for example, can always deal with that uncertainty just doesn't match the evidence. After all, the only thing that is certain about any Project Plan is that it is wrong.
Human Systems Dynamics teaches us that indeed life is unpredictable and chaotic, and control is just a dream.
As soon as we drop that expectation from our business, political, everyday affairs, and learn tools that help us readily adapt to the uncertainty - including honesty about it - we'll behave more rationally and be better off.
Thanks John for speaking out on this reality.
