A Ninja needs to be light on their feet, able to respond with deftness to new opportunities or threats. Anything that requires a lot of shifting of thinking, quick reactions and decisions will of course need our proactive attention. And as we know, this is finite resource. Our ability to react quickly and appropriately to new challenges really comes down to how we manage our own mental “reserves” and our ability to bring in other resources – other people, more time and better technology.
