In war, it is axiomatic that the victors of the last war fight the new one with the same tactics of the old. Having won the victor is content with what won for him; but the vanquished wants to know why he lost.
Business and war have much in common. Entrenched companies keep doing what got them there. Upstarts introduce/discover new methods and vanquish the victors.
What worked before does not always continue to be effective. Best practices evolve and change. Look for and/or discover those changes... evolve or perish!

Business today is like wilderness survival - the old maps don't work! I just finished a book that you might enjoy: DEEP SURVIVAL: WHO LIVES, WHO DIES, AND WHY. It is mostly about survival in the wilderness in life or death situations, but there are some great parallels to business life today. I wrote about it recently in my blog: http://www.the-artful-life.com. I use this blog to write about coaching issues. Did I tell you I am a certified executive coach?
ReplyDeleteI like your blog a lot! Keep writing ....
