(You Don't Always Have To) GET REAL!



"It is respectful to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull."




Joseph Conrad
Late 19th/early 20th century British novelist


Not always profitable.

Success in business is more often dependent on assumptions than facts, and that includes many things that begin life as an illusion.

  1. One of the problems with MBA programs is they emphasize too much analytics at the expense of creative thinking. You need both, each within balance with the other

  2. I agree Tom but maybe that's because they know they can't teach creativity and they can analytics, which most people don't know.
