Rules often exist to control behaviors so that a desired outcome can be achieved. In this Abeceder Quotation Conversation Dave Plunkett, a self-confessed collaboration junkie and Michael Millward consider a quotation from Pablo Picasso about learning rules and how to effectively break them. During their discussion Michael and Dave discuss how our relationship with rules impacts our success at work and in life. They compare the way in which adults accept things as they are, whilst young children always want to know why.
