Bill and List,

As I wrote in an earlier post, "variance reduction" is precisely what I
think we may need in order to grow from here.  IF (and it's a big "if") I'm
right about where SD is in our phases of growth, we're poised at the
transition between Phase I and Phase II.  Which means that what we need is
standardization of practices, variance reduction if you will, in order to
feed a period of exponential growth.

The fact that those who helped found a field favor diversity in thinking is
what got us to this point; but it doesn't mean it is the best attitude for
going further.  Why do you think so few true entrepreneurs make good
managers?

John
