🔹 The McNamara fallacy is what occurs when decision-makers rely solely on quantitative metrics while ignoring qualitative factors. 🔹 The fallacy is named after Robert McNamara, the U.S. Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War, where his over-reliance on measurable data led to several misguided strategies.  🔹 Here is a look at three work-life situations where data might mislead as much as help. https://lnkd.in/gyuepWdV #mcnamara #fallacy #data #leading #worst #decision #decisionmakers #relying #quantitative #metrics #ignoring #qualitative #factors #leading #misguided #strategies

There are a lot of critics out there. And there’s even more teachers of information that teach theory. When we dream…especially if our dreams extend beyond serving ourselves, we need to think beyond theory and model after thise who have accomplished something in line with our dreams. Endeavors taught are not the same as mountains conquered. Look to those who have accomplished that which you dream of accomplishing. Because….. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; ….who strives valiantly; ….who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; …..who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; …..who spends himself in a worthy cause; …..who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt Rule #1: "Don't trade out what you want....for what you want right now.". Never…..trade out your dreams. Mark Nicholas Wines is now in a relaunch with over 200 US stores committing to it for 4th QTR 2024! “Chance favors the prepared of mind…” ~ Louis Pasteur #winemakersforum #branddevelopment #winemarketing #vineyard #winemaker #dreambig

What makes you and your unique and special?   In what ways do you differentiate from your competition?   Are you focused on your competition or on your special sauce?   Daily Shake Up No. 852 borrows a lesson in differentiation from the Michigan’s most famous food – coney dogs. Michigan (and Detroit) are famous for coney dogs and, so much so, that the number 1 and number 2 rated coney dog restaurants are in Detroit. In fact, they’re on the same street. Actually, they’re right night door to each other – literally attached. Clearly, they have competition and yet they’re both thriving and have been for many years. How do they do it? I don’t know their respective secrets but I’m sure that there’s something that makes them different. When I visited them both several years ago one told me that the difference was vidalia onions versus regular onions. They also noted lamb skin hot dogs over regular hot dogs. The point is that we all have competition and the key to thriving is not being more like our competition. The key is to be different than our competition, even when it comes to coney dogs.   Don’t worry about your competition. Worry about your special sauce.   #SnowGlobeLeadership #NischwitzGroup #SnowGlobeLiving #Leadership #Competition #Differentiation #ConeyDogs

This spring, Founder of Family.Inc, Joshua Gentine sat down for his first “Kitchen Table Conversation” with two executives from Sargento Foods Inc. - Chairman Lou Gentine and CEO Louie Gentine. Also his uncle and cousin respectively. During their discussion, they talk about the history, family, transitions, and tools that have helped them sustain the family legacy at Sargento. Over the next several weeks we will be sharing snippets of the interview here on our LinkedIn page. Stay tuned for some wonderful bits of wisdom! To kick things off - we’ll first hear from Louie as he explains how he navigated his decision to join the family business. Enjoy! #family #familybusiness #familyparticipationplan

In a conversation with two brothers from my industry, I learned that they have defied the odds recently by transitioning their business into its fourth generation of family leadership and ownership. This milestone puts Wood Fruitticher in an elite circle - a mere 30% of family businesses make it to the second generation, let alone the fourth. Their ability to “finish well” and sustain the company’s legacy for over 100 years offers invaluable lessons for entrepreneurs looking for significance and legacy. At Cultivating Impact, we guide businesses through a proven 7-step process for succession planning. The final step, “Finish Well,” is arguably the most important for cementing an enduring legacy.

Use code Buffalo10. https://lnkd.in/gXGdge-2 Here at Buffalo Spirit Ranch we are learning how to reclaim, remediate and harvest all the water that comes to us. We live in the high desert, so water is precious. But the monsoon rains present another challenge: the skies open, and assault the land with more than it can handle. In previous years, we’ve created stone lined canals, tight watercourses, and metal culverts to push the water away from vulnerable areas and send it straight to the arroyo (riverbed) just outside the property.    But these rigid boundaries actually created a larger problem. If our boundaries are too strict and rigid, we actually create more problems, increasing the tension with others, blowing people out emotionally. Instead, boundaries are meant to be more dynamic and responsive to the conditions, and created with ease and spaciousness. Here's what to know about boundaries:   1. There are three kinds of boundaries: rigid, porous (too weak) and healthy. Healthy boundaries are dynamic, fluid, and change / adapt with varying conditions. What kinds of boundaries do you tend to set?   2. Sometimes when we’ve grown up boundaryless, we overcompensate and create rigid boundaries.
