Strategy and Anti-Strategy.

“The exact opposite of every brilliant strategy is another brilliant strategy.”

A dear friend of mine said this long ago (when he was a student at Michigan working with the much-esteemed and much-feted Prof C K Prahalad and not working as a volunteer with a national-level Indian political party’s chief).

I have tried my very best to find exceptions to this rule, and honestly, haven’t succeeded to date. In fact, it has worked for me in business as in personal life (yes, in golf too, for those who care)…until this morning, when my wife pointed out that following this seemingly iron-clad quote is as good a strategy as not following it.

<Sigh> Cretan liars anyone?
