Observation of the Day!
Anyone who has spent time in management has been subjected to or perhaps even initiated the latest business fad. The programs and seminars are usually the same basics of business, packaged differently with new buzzwords. Many of these programs are developed by academicians who actually haven't spent much time on the firing line of a business. They talk a good game i.e. BS.
I received a newsletter from the Eli Broad College of Business at my Alma Mater Michigan State. The following is a statement from John Miller, Executive MBA Program Director about the latest buzz i.e. Bulls**t.
"Organic growth is about harnessing the core competencies of the business - those competencies that are rare. difficult for competitors to duplicate and can be leveraged in multiple markets."
HUH???? Is that all there is too it!
Execute that!
The business of business is actually quite simple. It is only complicated by those in it, taught by those who aren't.
My man George Carlin still says it best, "It's all Bulls**t
Have a nice day!
