Don’t believe everything you read

Do you believe everything you read? No, of course not. There’s so much “information” out there from both reliable and dubious sources. I can’t believe that anyone would believe everything they read on the internet, but I do know people that give credence to everything they read in business books.


This is so dangerous. First of all, just because someone has published one (or many) business books does not mean they know it all. Second, and perhaps, more importantly, we need to think about how these concepts might or might not apply to our particular situation or company. Maybe we’re just moving so fast that we’re skipping the all important critical thinking phase, but I think that’s a path to an ugly train wreck.
