Book Cover & Preview Text
One of over 200 topics The Blind Leading The Nude When the blind are leading the nude, the “naked” should always be ready to provide direction to “the blind” so they will lead us to the right destination. Early in our careers, we overtly or secretly suspect that “the blind,” those higher up in the organization, know all the answers. For common problems with common solutions, they frequently do. For many problems, however, they do not have a clue as to what a correct answer is, and they cannot see a solution. They not only don’t know the correct answer, but they haven’t been close enough to the problem to even have a gut feel for what the answer ought to be. If you are going to bring a problem to the attention of “the blind,” it is incumbent that you have a recommended solution. They may not follow your advice, but the alternative is that you will be paraded, butt-naked, all around creation without ever getting to a clothing store. Bottom line; cover your fanny by having an answer ready.
