The Proof of the Pudding
Despite its small pre-war size the US Army was able to expand rapidly to meet the demands placed on it by the second world war. It was also able to develop good leadership at all levels of command.
When officers were given a leadership position they were given a couple of months to see if they could produce results. If they could not show such results they were moved to a different position and replaced with another officer. Such “failure” did not count as a black mark against their career, it just meant that they were not suitable for that leadership position.
Many times when trying to figure out “how to change” it is difficult to arrive at a successful result just by thinking about the problem. You have to pick what you think is a likely candidate and try it out. This will lead to concrete results that you can learn from. You cannot always tell just by judging the “idea” about how to change just what will actually work.
A big advantage to Essential Flow in this regard is its low cost of experiment. It is relatively easy to set up and start practicing. You can get real-world feedback in weeks or months that will either give you confidence in continuing or tell you that you need to try some other approach in your particular situation.
