Crisis and the “Black Swan”
Black Swans are important events, either good or bad, that are highly improbable but happen nonetheless. Using the term Black Swan is a metaphor for an event that just is weird or unexplainable before hand using logic. None the less, Black Swans are explainable after the fact. Most are rare events that have extreme impact on the business. (Taleb, Nassim Nicholas. The Black Swan. New York: Random House, 2007.)
Your Limitations - Are they a Black Swan?
umor me for a moment today. Please close your eyes and envision a swan. Now, take a few moments and describe that swan. What words did you use? White, graceful, bird, clean, dirty, ugly duckling, etc. Long ago, in Europe, everyone believed that all swans were white. Why was that? Well, it was because all anyone had ever seen were swans that were white. Everyone thought that until in 1967. That was when Australia was found as well as the black swan. So what does this have to do with organizing or productivity? Keep reading to find out! Don't limit yourself!

Get Your Sales Force to Perform Magic and Make Sales Appear!
I just finished a great novel called Law of Nines. A traveler from another world visits Earth in hopes of saving her own world. They have no technology where she comes from but they do have magic. Alex, the main character, just can't wrap his hands around the magic. Jax, the alien, tries to help. She said, "that little black thing you talk to where messages appear - in our world, that would be magic but we would do it without the black thing. That box that brings you up and down in a building - to me that's magic. Those enclosed carriages without horses to make them travel? Magic." Neither world could live without what they have but they simply have different names for them. We don't talk about it much but sales has a lot of magic to it.
