What Business Schools Get Wrong...
Business schools say....
"Do one thing really well".
Nature says...
Diversity.
Complexity.
= Resilience.
In the documentary The Biggest Little Farm, they tell the story of their orchard. Over 300 varieties of fruit tree on one small orchard.
In diversity and complexity, they have resilience.
And whose ideas are likely longer lasting?
The business school?
Or nature?
In running a business, big or small, you have a choice:
You can invest all your resources and energy into being the single best apple tree. And hope for the best.
Or nurture the orchard, and build resilience, diversity and complexity into what you do.
