Most Monday evenings I’m at the Garner Ice House with my nine year old daughter for ice skating lessons. For those who know me well you can imagine that I enjoy the anticipation of getting to be in a room that cold during the middle of the summer. Right after the girls (not one boy taking figure skating) get off the ice the flood of boys head towards the rink to get ready for their turn. Of course I’m a father of three girls so I’m gone by the time the hockey practice starts!
I can however appreciate a quote by a notable hockey player….
“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.” ~Wayne Gretzky
I believe that while what Gretzky states is fairly common sense for hockey there is a huge parallel in today’s business climate that many of us miss. Are you trying to follow the course that you set years ago without adjusting? Are you going where the market is now or are you looking ahead to where the market is going?
