On the other side of the fog...
Some folks are asking, “On the other side of COVID-19, what’s the future of K12, higher education, etc.?”
Others are asking a different question: “On the other side of COVID-19, who will we be?”
We need to ask both questions, but one question matters more than the other.
As we travel through the liminal spaces created by COVID-19, consider Morgan Housel’s advice on “The only truly sustainable sources of competitive advantage:
Learn faster than your competition.
Empathize with customers more than your competition.
Communicate more effectively than your competition.
Be willing to fail more than your competition.
Wait longer than your competition.
Everything else – intelligence, design, insight – gets smashed to pieces by competitors who are almost certainly as smart as you.”
