Organizational Performance Advice
How long do you wait to act responsibly before someone tells you, under harsher conditions, that what you are doing doesn't work anymore?
Seth, Where
do you get your advice?
The thing about advice is that you need two things to make it work:
- it has to be good,
- it has to motivate you to actually do something
The reason that people turn to celebrities and big organizations is that the patina of fame and authority makes it easier to sell yourself and your colleagues on taking action--on actually doing something with the advice.
If McKinsey said to close the plant, then it's a lot easier to sell your board. If you had gotten precisely the same advice from precisely the same 26-year-old Harvard MBA but she'd been in your strategy group instead of at McKinsey, they'd ignore her.
