Fingerspitzengefuhl!

Keys To Warfare: Self - Composure

Expose yourself to conflict. First, it is better to confront your fears, let them come to the surface, than to ignore them or tamp them down. Second ... in giving in to fear, in losing your presence of mind, you disgrace not only yourself, your self-image, and your reputation but your company, your family, your group.

Be self-reliant. There is nothing worse than feeling dependent on other people.

Suffer fools gladly. Understand: you cannot be everywhere or fight everyone. Your time and energy are limited, and you must learn how to preserve them.

Crowd out feelings of panic by focusing on simple tasks. A focused mind  has no room for anxiety or for the effects of an overactive imagination.

Unintimidate yourself. Intimidation will always threaten your presence of mind. And it is a hard feeling to combat.

Develop your Fingerspitzengefuhl (fingertip feel). Get your mind into the  habit of making lightning-quick decisions, trusting your fingertip feel.

Finally, do not think of presence of mind as a quality useful only in periods of adversity, something to switch on and off as you need it. Cultivate it as an everyday condition.

What if the Fog of War becomes a Fog of Creativity? a Fog of Research? a Fog of Art? Here is some material to think of it.

https://www.wikiwand.com/fr/Brouillard_de_guerre

The word "fog" in reference to uncertainty in war was introduced by the Prussianmilitary analyst Carl von Clausewitz in his posthumously published book, Vom Kriege (1832), which appeared in English translation in 1873 under the title On War:

War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty. A sensitive and discriminating judgment is called for; a skilled intelligence to scent out the truth.

Carl von Clausewitz, Vom Kriege, Book 1, Chapter 3.

It has been pointed out that von Clausewitz does not use the exact phrase "fog of war," using multiple similar metaphors such as "twilight" and "moonlight" to describe lack of clarity.[3]

http://www.laboiteverte.fr/un-atlas-du-monde-connu-en-brouillard-de-guerre-publie-en-1830/

Un atlas du monde connu en brouillard de guerre publié en 1830

Cet atlas a été publié en 1830 à Londres pas Edward Quin et utilise 21 cartes en couleurs pour montrer l’évolution des connaissances géographiques à différentes périodes avec la première montrant le monde connu, l’Éden, de la Création au Déluge, en 2348 AEC, jusqu’à la dernière qui montre le monde presque complet et la fin de la paix générale en 1828 avec une vision de l’histoire et de la géographie très occidentale et biblique.

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Fingerspitzengef%C3%BChl

Fingerspitzengefühl [ˈfɪŋɐˌʃpɪtsənɡəˌfyːl] is a German term, literally meaning "finger tips feeling" and meaning intuitive flair or instinct, which has been appropriated by the English language as a loanword. It describes a great situational awareness, and the ability to respond most appropriately and tactfully. It can also be applied to diplomats, bearers of bad news, or to describe a superior ability to respond to an escalated situation. The term is sometimes used to describe the instinctive play of certain football players.[1]

In social context, fingerspitzengefuhl suggests a combination of "tact, diplomacy and a certain amount of sensitivity to the feelings of others". It is a quality that can enable a person to "negotiate tricky social situations".[2]

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Volatility,_uncertainty,_complexity_and_ambiguity

VUCA is an acronym—first used in 1987—to describe or to reflect on the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of general conditions and situations;[1] drawing on the leadership theories of Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus.[2] The U.S. Army War College introduced the concept of VUCA to describe the more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous multilateral world perceived as resulting from the end of the Cold War. More frequent use and discussion of the term "VUCA" began from 2002 and derives from this acronym from military education.[3][need quotation to verify] It has subsequently taken root in emerging ideas in strategic leadership that apply in a wide range of organizations, from for-profit corporations[4][need quotation to verify] to education.[5]

Meaning – The deeper meaning of each element of VUCA serves to enhance the strategic significance of VUCA foresight and insight as well as the behaviour of groups and individuals in organizations.[6] It discusses systemic failures[7] and behavioural failures,[7] which are characteristic of organisational failure.

V = Volatility. The nature and dynamics of change, and the nature and speed of change forces and change catalysts.

U = Uncertainty. The lack of predictability, the prospects for surprise, and the sense of awareness and understanding of issues and events.

C = Complexity. The multiplex of forces, the confounding of issues, no cause-and-effect chain and confusion that surrounds organization.

A = Ambiguity. The haziness of reality, the potential for misreads, and the mixed meanings of conditions; cause-and-effect confusion.

These elements present the context in which organizations view their current and future state.

Between Education And Evolution: Raffles Design Institute Beijing

The mix of students on the Raffles attendance sheet varies, yet "fascination" is omnipresent.

Whether we’re talking astrophysics or fashion design, education is mandatory — with the admitted zest of fingerspitzengefuhl added to the latter. Temper made its teaching rounds and bumped into Raffles’ Dedrick. One dose of didactic design data coming right up!  (more…)

John Boyd, leadership, and civil conflict

John Boyd writes about fingerspitzengefuhl. When you see the term in writing, the author says, “This word is hard to translate.” Then the author says it means “fingertip touch.” That’s not a bad description, since in a sense it refers to interaction between fingers and the brain. It also refers to interaction between any part of the body and brain, and most broadly, interaction between you as a…
