A little less theorisation and a little more action (please).

A little less theorisation and a little more action (please).

We live in a world full of theories.

  • Statisticians want to wow us with how many different ways they can cut the same numbers (and how easily they can ‘prove’ opposing views).
  • Economists want to impress us with identifying the number of times we’ve been in this big a mess – and how long it’s going to take to get out of it (if ever)
  • Pollsters can spend 30 minutes telling us why the major event that just happened will have no impact whatsoever on the result of the election (without realising most of us tuned out at 30 seconds).
  • And providers of psychometric assessments want to convince us their product is the best on the market because of the number of days and £000s you need to spend being trained to use them (and the number of incomprehensible psychological terms they fit into one report).

The problem is, most of us don’t live in a theoretical world. Our day to day lives are characterised by getting s*** done, not by knowing why it’s hard to do (or why it was screwed up in the first place).?

When you’re in a hole, knowing there’s a theory that covers exactly where you find yourself doesn’t help. In fact, it’s really f*****g annoying.?

What you need, right now, is help to get out of the hole, not an explanation as to why you’re in it (even if it might help to stop you getting in there again). And you’re not really interested that lots of other people have done exactly the same thing!! Strangely, it doesn’t make you feel any better.

At Great People Inside, we’ve said ENOUGH!!?
