Predictive or Responsive?

Do I try to predict what demand will be for my product?

or

Do I try to respond to demand which is evident?

 

Do I try to train my people for what I think they will need?

or

Do I try to help them be rapid learners of the skills required?

 

Do I try to guess what new products will sell well?

or

Do I make a lot of products and make more of what sells well?

 

Do I try to anticipate which direction the stock market will move?

or

Do I set up my portfolio to respond reasonably whatever the market does?

 

 

Responsiveness generally trumps predictiveness.
