100% correct 10% of the time

While I think this CNN article about using improv to improve (har, har) business skills misses many important points, I did find one quote in it that speaks very directly to a subject I've been mushing around in my own mindgrapes recently, which will be the subject of a future post.

The quote comes from Robert Kulhan, a Duke business professor and CEO of Business Improvisations, and it goes like this:

"There's a misconception in business that you have to be 100 percent correct 100 percent of the time, whereas the truth is you have to be 100 percent correct about 10 percent of the time -- the rest of the time you have to just make decisions."

More on this idea soon... but for now - point, Kulhan.
