As we continue to witness in real-time, heroes of the day often become the abject failures of humankind after being held under the microscope of historical perspective.
Aligned with George Santayana’s quote from A Historic Blogpost (Part 1), today’s quote by Oscar Wilde is seemingly of the opinion that history can be misleading at best or intentionally false at worst. Perhaps a good approach – which has much broader application beyond that of history – is to employ healthy skepticism, seek multiple viewpoints (especially from those who disagree!), and try to understand a variety of data before forming a steadfast opinion. We’d be wise to keep this in mind as we continue our foray into the world of alternatives and the mission of identifying quality managers/strategies.
