The analogy I usually use is
“a Michelin-starred restaurant doesn’t have laminated recipes on the kitchen wall. A McDonalds does. Both of these are a good thing, depending on who you’re working with and what you’re trying to achieve”
- zarkov99 4y agoThat is a fantastic analogy, it captures exactly the pros and cons and the context dependency of methodologies.
- sanderjd 4y agoGood analogy! Here's the problem though: how to you hire for a "McDonalds". It seems good to be self aware about whether you're running a McDonalds or a Michelin star restaurant, but can you be honest about that with candidates and still hire people?
- SoftTalker 4y agoIt's funny. Many years ago I did work at a McDonald's, but the manager of that store refused to allow those types of posters on the walls. He said it looked bad, he wanted clean white tile and stainless steel to be what the customers saw, not a bunch of laminated posters. He always argued with the regional manager about it during store inspections. But since this McDonald's made a lot of money, and everyone was actually preparing the food correctly, the store manager generally got his way.
