Silver Bullets


October 1, 2013

In business so often what one wants is a silver bullet, that one solution that will solve everything, improve the whole business in one swoop. This of course does not exist and so what we need to do is accept the fact that we need to use a range of tools and technique to run our business and not keep searching for the silver bullet.

Let's think of it this way, even if there were a silver bullet, it only is useful for ONE thing (ie in folklore killing a werewolf) so it’s actually a misnomer, a silver bullet is only useful for ONE problem, not everything!
