10 Principles for Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Leadership:

From Buckminster Fuller himself:

1. Think comprehensively
2. Anticipate the future
3. Respect gestation rates
4. Envision the best possible future
5. Be a "trim tab"--an individual who can initiate big changes
6. Take individual initiative
7. Ask the obvious and naïve questions
8. Do more with less
9. Seek to reform the environment, not people
10. Solve problems through action
