My favorite recent quote is one from Mike Kanazawa, author of <a href="http://bigideastobigresults.com/archives/86" rel="nofollow">Big Ideas to Big Results</a>. Mike changed the old "Do more with less" to a much more possible "Do more ON less." Hopefully you allow a little HTML because I linked to a great podcast Mike did with Lisa Haneberg illustrating this point. I hate thinking outside the box too.

"Thinking outside the box" has become a cliche and, yes, even in its heyday did imply that the solutions lay "somewhere out-there." Business owners would be much better served if, instead of hiring consultant/saviors, they gathered up their existing staff at all levels for a dialogue. If personnel share their realities and ACTIVELY LISTEN to each other, solutions will emerge. I see the new mantra now ... instead of "Think outside of the box," we could be saying, "Listen within."

I am enough of a contrarian (curmudgeon?)just to figure out how to say that they don't work. I am starting to realize all these shortcuts don't get you to the promised land, anyway. Finally.

Seems to work. As a programmer, sometimes it isn't broken, so I do something else - I think - and now it's broken. By the way, perfect programming would prevent that. But, well, you know...
