Every analyst believes in the mantra "Give me insights or give me nothing!" I'm saying: Stop providing insights. All you are doing is telling leadership: "Water is wet." Switch to providing "out-of-sights!" Change the game. My new post on Occam's Razor:

This is so painful 'cos of how true it is in larger organizations across geographies & industries. Likely hurts, but it is helpful to reflect where I/you are in this chart. #selfawareness For a CxO, an outright rejection of this cartoon is a sign of how true it is 4 their org.

People with good high school & university grades get a sweet boost in their first job, first comp package. You'd be surprised how 3-5 years in, neither is predictive of professional success. Even less of happiness. So cheer up. You have a lifetime to be successful & be happy.
