Are Your Best Practices Your Worst Enemy?

by Holly Green

When I speak to CEO groups, trade associations, and industry conventions, this is one of my favorite questions to ask.

Why?  Because I love the reaction from the audience.  They look at me like I’m nuts!

Questioning the sanctity of best practices in a roomful of corporate leaders and managers is like walking into a Boston Red Sox convention wearing a New York Yankees cap. Or walking into a Microsoft Corp. strategic planning session with an iPad in your hand.  I might as well criticize mom, apple pie, and puppies.

Kudos

This is very well written Holly! I really enjoyed your observations, especially the quotation, "as humans we don’t believe what we see. Instead, we see what we already believe." I think that's right on the mark.
