I was joking with some friends today about an idea I have. I want to run an RFP process to decide what to do with my life. It's the perfect solution for a former chief of staff in search of the next thing to staff. I'm about out of patience with my existential exploration of a vision for my life. I don't do vision. I do implementation. Sure I can be creative but whole cloth vision work is outside of my skill set so why not outsource it to people who like doing that sort of thing. It's an altogether absurd idea except in it's succinct pragmatism. Maybe I'll run the competition on this blog. It begs the larger question of what do we do when we don't know how to do things. Try, quit, punt, wait?
