Uncertainty
Daily I see overconfidence in business. I see too much faith placed in forecasts. I see big bets placed on anticipated market growth. I see investment in businesses that are near bankruptcy. I see these things because people tend toward certainty. They start with a belief and then look for all evidence supporting that belief while ignoring anything that contradicts that belief.
Got Conflict?
Few business partnerships succeed. Tension arises when the business isn’t doing well and when the business thrives. Beware of this…
A Plan Is Not This…
I work with too many people who think they can make a plan in an hour by just “deciding things”. That’s not a plan. That is a recipe for problems. Hasty decisions lead to problems and waste.
Support Labor
It is commonly said that anyone can succeed in this country through hard work. That’s getting harder but it is still possible.
