Caracci and "Bibendium" -- The Michelin Man -- one of the many celebs he runs into on the track.
During my career in the automotive aftermarket, I encountered two types of managers: the “Big Picture” person who paid no attention to details, always looking at big issues for big gains, and the “Nit Picker” person, who often overlooked and missed the big gains, but absolutely maximized every little detail.
Frankly, I was and still am a “Big Picture” guy and have succeeded in my career. But, I also realized years ago that my business teams needed the “Nit Pickers” and their attention to details to get the most out of my “Big Picture” gains.
I'll bet the same is true in your business today, and as you'll see reading the story of our six-hour sports car race in California last week, racing proves you still need both.
