Há que estar preparado para o safe-fail.

Ao iniciar a leitura de "Hidden Champions of the Twenty-First Century Success Strategies of Unknown World Market Leaders" de Hermann Simon encontrei este trecho:

"When times get tough, the weaker competitors tend to buckle under pressure. This in turn provides the stronger contenders with the opportunity to expand their market position."

Ontem ao ler "What Your Company Can Learn From Southwest Airlines" sublinhei:

"During the 2008 global financial crisis, I had a particularly instructive conversation with a SWA employee. On that morning, I happened to be working in Dallas and flying Southwest. On the TV at the gate, a local news reporter was reading a list of massive airline layoffs. But they never mentioned Southwest. Feeling good as an investor, I noted my relief to the gate agent. She smiled and said, "Want to know why we aren't laying off anyone?" I nodded.

She continued, "A rainy day eventually comes. We've been preparing for this for decades. All the other airlines are loaded with debt--they have no choice but to let people go. But we've been putting money aside, and now we're spending it. In fact, we just opened new operations--would you like to know in which cities?" The gate agent spoke like a CEO. I was looking at the manifestation of economic understanding, transparency, and employee participation."

E recordei "Safe-Fail, NOT Fail-Safe - Alicia Juarrero" - "-THERE WILL BE TURBULENCE!" por isso, safe-fail ou O não-fragilista prepara-se para os problemas ou O fragilismo.

Muita gente em lugares de poder olha para o mundo e vê:


Os poucos, precavidos, olham para o mesmo mundo e sabem que ele é assim:

Há que estar preparado para o safe-fail... ou estar constantemente a pedinchar apoios em Bruxelas.
