The Importance of Information Availability

I operate on a very simple belief about business. If there are six of us in a room and we all get the same facts, in most cases the six of us will reach roughly the same conclusion.

The problem is, we don’t get the same information. We each get different pieces. Business isn’t complicated. The complications arise when people are cut off from information they need.

People always overestimate how complex business is. This isn’t rocket science. We’ve chosen one of the world’s simplest professions.
