#1 and #2 are probably 80% of it. Humility I think has a big role for creative endeavors to generate value. Empathy is the other attribute and that might be correlated with humility to some extent.
Thanks for the confirmation. Appreciate the sanity check.
What has always been harder to digest is why these problems are ignored more than made a focus? If these are the issues then it should be what we all are trained to focus on. Or at least no one should ever be surprised by them. But this is of course is why I wrote this book so it's probably boring to hear me complain about it :)
"What we've got here is failure to communicate." My mentor on my first job quoted this line. Since then I I have come to think that ALL failures have to do with communication in some way. Empathy and humility are enablers for that communication to happen in an authentic way. We have to connect and care for the "other". I don't know how else anything could be successful.
As a testament to the fundamental quality and broad relevance of ideas in this book, Design Is Hard get's thumbs up from both me, residential interior designer, and my husband, a systems architect for manufacturing software. It's not just for UX and graphic designers!
