How Everything Works

Professor Cannon

I mostly learned the basics of control theory from  Professor Bob Cannon while I was in graduate school at Stanford.  Every once in a while, Professor Cannon would share his observations about the world in general  – including this explanation of how everything works: “One thing leads to another”.

I’m not sure this is profound or anything, but it is a handy way to understand how I came to be composing my first blog post on our website about leadership.

I complained that my team needed better leadership.

I was given the job of leading my team.

I spent years learning about leadership through self-study while on the job.

Duane challenges me to write a book.

I wrote a book.

Duane sets up a website.

I compose my first blog post.

See?  One thing leads to another.
