In the book Gorky and the Evil Twin , several Gorkys were introduced as part of the "Recognition set", a set of qualities with a corresponding puzzles which solves to one of the Gorkys below. We can use these qualities to ask ourselves how this quality can be used to approach a particular problem.
The eight Gorky qualities featured in the book are: Leadership, Initiatve, Communication, Concentration, Adaptation, Agility, Innovation, and Collaboration.
I now present these Gorkys, their qualities, and an explanation of each quality. By no means are these the only qualities. We'll have to create more Gorkys to cover many other qualities that can be used!
