MindPrep 283 – Bets on the Future
|
Reader Every decision you make today is a bet about the future. Sometimes the future is near and sometimes the future is far. Sometimes our decisions produce that results we want; and sometimes they don’t. It’s always “the present” when you decide, but every decision plays out in the future. If you want to make better decisions in the “here and now” you should do two things: 1. (Re)confirm your assumptions underlying the decision. 2. Think about the unintended consequences of the decision, not just what you want to happen. Sometimes the unintended consequences are good, sometimes not-so-good. Question: Regarding a pending decision, what assumptions must be true for you to succeed? And, what could go wrong? Happy New Year, Bill |

So, as an experiment, I loaded all 49 issues into NotebookLM and directed it to "summarize them identify the major themes." The response came in about 3 seconds and, frankly, it's right on the mark. Scary (and interesting.) The exact response follows if you are interested in reading what has been on my mind. This is long, so grab a cup of coffee....
Reader, Organizations, whether armies, companies, charities, universities, or city councils are designed to achieve shared goals. Some succeed and some fail. And some fail catastrophically. Background Because some of my thinking was formed during my time in the Marine Corps, I often turn to military history to find models that can be applied, as appropriate, to business education and advising. One of my favorite books is Military Misfortunes, The Anatomy of Failure in War (Cohen & Gooch,...
