STANDING ALONE


"Things are not to be judged good or bad merely because the public think so."

Publius Cornelius Tacitus
1st century Roman historian

And yet it is difficult to oppose majority opinion.

If you are a senior manager in a position with subordinates, peers, and superiors, do you (ever, often) go against what most believe, and if so, how?

  1. I worked for a manager who did that, emphasis on "worked". He's no longer with the company.

    I think he was right, many others including his boss did not.

    Sometimes you just cannot fight head winds.
