Can YOU answer WHY…!

by George Ambler on Thursday, February 8, 2007

I just stumbled upon a great post discussing another post titled “Why” that really builds on my recent post, “The Importance of ‘Know Why’ over ‘Know How’

You must keep asking why…….. Why? Because no-one is thinking when…….

  • Everyone is talking and no-one is listening….!
  • Intellectualism is feted more than simplicity in your dept…..!
  • Research is used for support not illumination…..!
  • You talk about ‘consumers’ not people…..!
  • You have information not insights…..!
  • The boss is always right…..!
  • All your powerpoint decks look the same…..!
  • Ideas are the job of creatives…..!
  • Data is seen to be more important than behaviour…..!
  • The client is always right…..!
  • Everyone analyses rather than synthesises…..!
  • Dialogue is more important than conversations……!
  • You judge creative work rather than create it…..!
  • You think there is one answer…..!
  • People around you believe that efficiency is more important than effectiveness….!
  • That it is ok to think incremental improvements are a long term solution….!

No one is thinking when everyone is managing and no one is leading!
