Works well for a warrior (where 7 breaths is a long time) - but not so much most business leaders/managers. After witnessing it so many times, I'm guessing the standard playbook they teach at business schools is "Don't bother taking time to understand a situation - just make a decision unnecessarily quickly and over-confidently, and then stick to your guns no matter what".
So much wasted effort results... but, hey, at least I got paid for it. And now I make sure I don't work anywhere where they run this playbook anymore!
- chrisweekly 5y agoEvery set of aphorisms contains these contradictions, eg "Look before you leap" and "He who hesitates is lost".
- dgb23 5y agoMaybe some bosses think of themselves as warriors. They act fast and self assured to assert dominance. The one who speaks loudest first wins. This behavior can be observed in chimps too, often the most dominant male performs the most amazingly loud and aggressive acts. In environments that are more collaborative and less hierarchical it’s different. Ideas, not humans are competing and different approaches merge. I don’t want to bash on chimps here. That would be unfair.
