Today’s silly question at HBS
…is “why don’t managers think deeply?”
Answers on a postcard please (or in comment box, I guess)
But here are some starters for you…
i. Managers like all humans tend to do stuff first and make sense of it later
ii. Managers (ditto) tend to do what those are around them are doing
iii. Thinking is nowhere near as important in shaping Managers’ behaviour as they will tell you it is…
iv. Like “deepness” is the answer…(Viktor Frankl’s great story about the psychoanalysis patient and the shirtmaker tells you why)
Your call
