My answer was a lie, for ten years I never shared the truth.  My lie was always the same.  I’d simply say; I don’t know, just lucky I guess, in the right place at the right time.

All the time silently thinking, I want you to think our success is just dumb luck. 

The question, I was avoiding with my lie?  

What are you doing?  Followed by, You, and everyone in your organization, are having too much fun, and you’re doing so much better than your competitors.

The lie may have been selfish on my part, or enlighten self-interest, or simply self-preservation,  but, I wasn’t about to share the secrets of the simple and lazy system that had increased sales 33% annually, compounded, for the last ten years, with half as many employees of our competitors. 

There wasn’t any reason to share.  It would work for our competitors.  It wasn’t Rocket Science.  In fact, it would work for any business, including yours. 

I turned Lazy into a strategic tool, a competitive advantage and The Lazy Manager’s Toolbox  can do the same thing for you and your business.
