ArchitectCEO Daily Update: parable of the Giant Sequoia. Recently I visit Sequoia National Park, which is a 45 minute drive from my home. This national sanctuary in the Sierra Nevada mountains is home to the largest living things on the planet - the magnificent Sequoiadendron Giganteum trees, otherwise known as Giant Redwoods. The oldest of these trees are over 2000 years old. Wow.

As I was walking through a grove of these trees with my family, I noticed one Sequoia tree that was leaning to one side. Because the tree is off kilter, it's at risk of falling due to wind or unstable soil. Who knows why this tree has grown this way, it began it's life hundreds of years ago. But sometime in the past, something happened that locked it into it's current trajectory.

This is an example of the importance of 'initial conditions.' Initial conditions are the variables that act on something when it is started. In today's video you'll discover why the lesson on initial conditions is critical to running your architecture firm if you want big results. If you want small results, don't worry about it. :)
