Buchempfehlung: Die Logik des Mißlingens

Eine Kollegin hat mir neulich ein Buch empfohlen: “Die Logik des Mißlingens, Strategisches Denken in komplexen Situationen” von Dietrich Dörner. Klang ja wie eine Anleitung für Projektleitung. Kurz darauf lag also eine leicht vergilbte second-hand Ausgabe davon auf meinem Tisch.

“Die Logik des Mißlingens” ist kein neues Buch – es ist von 1989, aber ein Thema, das zeitlos bleibt. Weil menschliches Verhalten zeitlos fehlbar ist und – wie ich glaube – sich die generelle Denkweise in nur 30 Jahren vermutlich kaum geändert hat.

China is building corridors in South Asia, mines in Africa, ports in Latin America. It is not sending troops, it is lending; it is not changing regimes, it is building connections. This is different from the hard power of the US: It is not a siege, it is a network. It is not taking territory, but mortgaging the future.

"The smartest strategy in a downturn? Say no to the narrative!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Your growth story begins the moment you decide not to take part in someone else’s pessimism.

An economic downturn? Just refuse to participate! In an era of panic, the boldest act is to opt out of the fear. The future doesn’t belong to the cautious—it belongs to the courageous.

With that thought in mind, know this - winners don’t wait. They create.

Recessions don’t kill opportunity. Mindsets do. The companies that shape tomorrow are the ones inventing it today—despite the headlines. That's why the smartest strategy is to 'just say no' to the narrative. After all, if everyone’s playing defense, the game is yours to win on offense. The path to growth starts with rejecting the crowd’s caution!

You can't shrink your way to tomorrow. The organizations that pull back on the initiative to move forward will stay back. Those that move forward now are the ones we’ll be talking about tomorrow. That being the case, mindset is the first move. A downturn is a test of belief.

That's why one of the first things you can do is to dance in the rain. Make the best of a bad situation. Do what you can do despite trying circumstances. Stay focused on your goals despite the fuzziness that surrounds you.

Opting out.

To opt out is to choose not to participate in something.

Right now, the conventional wisdom – the wisdom of crowds – always seems to be that in a period of economic uncertainty or a downturn, the best thing to do is to hunker down, scale back, slow down, take it easy, be cautious, reduce spending, defer our actions, wait it out, take things slow, put things on pause.

And that is just plain, well, the wrong thing to do! History tells us so – because those who choose to opt out of conventional wisdom are those who win.
In recent years, we've seen what happens when some choose not to participate in a recession, economic downturn, or whatever we want to call a period of economic uncertainty. They have determined that it's important to focus on the long-term goal, not the short-term volatility.

What we know from previous downturns is this: those who chose to opt out experienced growth during the downturn that others did not see. Not only that, but their rate of growth after the downturn was greater than those who chose the traditional path of cutting back. Bottom line: long-term winners are those who chose not to participate in a downturn!

It seems simple but is pretty critical – when uncertainty stares you in the face, double down on innovation and transformation, and refocus on the long-term view!
