It seems that selling FUD is very popular and profitable these days.

I don’t buy it.

1. There ARE good ideas (best practices and considerations) that, if well applied, generally work and generally move the ball forward in terms of org design, culture, product innovation and success.

2. In most ways, the world is far safer and more productive than it’s ever been in history.

3. People and processes of far more adaptive and resilient than we generally imagine.

4. The world and the universe are fundamentally abundant. Scarcity tends to be rooted in a failure of imagination and/or a lack of political will.

Don’t let cynics and skeptics hold you back from greatness.

Surround yourself with, and hire, optimistic people. Broaden your vision. Act boldly. Take on the world.
