The document discusses the importance of developing a synthesizing mind. It argues that having the ability to synthesize disparate information and ideas is a vital future skill, especially for leadership. It also notes that accumulated knowledge doubles every three years, so disciplinary actions alone cannot resolve complex global issues that require seeing issues from multiple perspectives. The document provides examples of people who were able to synthesize information across disciplines, like Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud. It also suggests tools like taxonomies, narratives, rules and aphorisms that can help with the process of synthesis.
