But the point is that we could always intend to approach the problems at mindset level,
People are different, not because we look different, but more crucially, we think differently. The variety of thought makes the world diversified, innovative and sophisticated. The complementary thoughts can overcome the common challenges facing in humankind, but the misunderstanding with each other causes the chaos, conflict and even man-made disaster. The brain is only an organic computer that creates an energy or operating system called the mind. The mind creates programs called our thoughts. We can change our thoughts just as we can change applications on a computer. Still, what’s the best way to get out-of-date thoughts at industrial age (such as silo, stereotypical, command-control, bias, extreme thinking, etc) out, and equip the brain with the new types of digital thinking (such as holism, balance, creativity, growth, paradox, systems thinking, etc.)
To know the power, you have to know your thoughts. Once you know them, then you know if they are useful or harmful. If something is harmful, why would you hold it, you will let it go and embrace only that which adds value and make you feel good. Our minds are conditioned based on our own belief systems, education, and past happenings. We get innumerable thoughts every moment, they pass unconsciously. We act based on these unconscious thoughts. Choosing thoughts consciously would be arduous. It would be difficult to be conscious all the time to keep choosing thoughts, but it’s the very thoughts decide who you are, the quality of your thinking decides your professionalism and leadership influence.
A wise mind has something to do with sound judgment: The truth is that each of us is a 'complex blend of contrasts - positive and negative; intuitive and logical' with imperfect judgment. We all want to believe that our judgment is perfect, yet none of us can claim to be a perfect character. If we are not perfect people, recruiters, and candidates alike, the chance of bias doubles with each encounter. More people in assessing each other, the risk increases exponentially. With all these imperfection, it is true that we must use our judgment in everything we do - including the selection of a candidate, making better decisions, discovering the alternative solutions to problems., etc. Some say the meditative mind is "unconsciously" conscious. It is a re-programmed mind. You start choosing positive thoughts by default, to know the power of your thoughts, you must be able to balance between positive and negative, intuition and logic, etc.

It is hard to say we can make an ‘apple to apple’ comparison of mind vs. mind. But the point is that we could always intend to approach the problems at mindset level, mind assessment goes beyond the conventional IQ testing, but about evaluating multidimensional intelligence and cross-disciplinary transcendence. Approaching problems at behavior level is to fix the symptom, but digging through the mindset is to cure the root cause. It is the mind keeps us learn, understand, grow and mature!
“Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding.” ― Werner Heisenberg
