Remember that all rules are invented

The video discusses the concept that everything is invented, meaning the rules we follow are created by someone at some point. As leaders, recognizing this allows us to reframe situations and approach problems differently. The speaker shares a business example where they challenged a procurement process by proposing their own approach, leading to a successful outcome. The key takeaway is that while this approach may not always work, it allows for satisfaction with the process and outcome.
