Following up on my post about Trust and Competition. Here's a related post by Peter Bregman at the Harvard Business site. Here's the line that drew me in:
Small is the new big. Sustainable is the new growth. Trust is the new competitive advantage.
It's getting ruthless out there (consolidation, creative destruction). It's simultaneously thrilling and scary to see some of these big, cyclical business concepts playing out. It reminds me to remind myself that things repeat, especially history and especially when you let them.
So is this "small is the new big, be trustworthy" idea a new idea?
Who cares. It's a good idea.
Editor's note: We're friends with the editorial team over at Harvard Business online. They've been working amazingly hard to design for their users and evolve their offering. They keep delivering interesting stuff to my inbox, sometimes on a daily basis. It's been fun for me to personally benefit from their hard work. Lately, they've stood out amongst the many, many sources I rely on for inspiration.
