escaping "rapid rise sudden fall" fate – when developing “big things”

…the slow architecture approach

To illustrate this article (chosen in an ironic sense), on escaping the "rapid rise sudden fall" fate – when developing “big things” – by adopting and implementing the “slow architecture” approach, I used the front cover of the book titled “Big Things F@$t”, (whose “thesis” I disagree with), by Jose Corella and Marcus Dimbleby, a paperback edition of which one can buy for $17.99, through Amazon (? https://www.amazon.com/Big-Things-leaders-breakthrough-performance/dp/B0CQW7LPTJ ?).

When it comes to Contemporary Health Tourism, without it being a manifestation of arrogance or a symptom of megalomania, the adjective “big” appears on a number of instances (and features in the title of several LinkedIn articles and posts).

And, the phrase “big things” appears in the titles of books I have (previously) used to illustrate articles and posts:

To justify the use of the term and phrase (with regards to Contemporary Health Tourism), I start by a partial listing of what it can mean - and the contexts it is used in:

Consequently, by definition alone, Contemporary Health Tourism (a.k.a. – and symbolized by – ht8) is indisputably a “big thing”.

Then, I remind that Contemporary Health Tourism has been designed for “organic growth” (bigger pie – more pies - implying a shift from “small” to “big” -? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/expanded-industry-address-broader-market-constantinides-m-d-ph-d-/? ).

And, I have claimed that if an undertaking doesn’t frighten you (and keep you awake at night) it's not big enough (? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/those-know-understand-konstantinos-konstantinidis-m-d-ph-d--n7wzf/? ).

Having said all this, for me, the French “folie de grandeur” idiom (that translates literally to "madness of greatness"), serves as a caveat (an admonition).

The book I used (chosen in an ironic sense) to illustrate this article, claims to be a field manual for “leaders” looking to facilitate “big things fast” – something I have cautioned against.

For example, in one article, I champion the slow architecture approach to “getting big things done” – in order to escape "rapid rise sudden fall" fate (? https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/short-life-shooting-stars-konstantinos-konstantinidis-m-d-ph-d--3h3yc/? ).
