Comment on Success is not a zero-sum game by David Locke

Economists have warned that globalism should not be a zero-sum game. Unfortunately, globalism is being played that way, otherwise the focus would be on conserving managerial focus, rather than cash, and that managerial focus would be spent creating new categories and new wealth, rather than managing the outsourcing itself.

To play globalism as a non-zero sum game, you must let the outsourced manage their efforts their way. This without cultural fit, customer (you) intrusion, or middle of the night calls around the world. Spec it. Ship the spec. Forget it. Focus, instead on making a new world where the outsourced skill is irrelevant.

A zero-sum game is a game with an indirect relationship. Win-Lose.

In your failure to deliver results in a negative outcome situation is a Lose-Lose or direct relationship, not a zero-sum game.

Likewise the disconnection of product success and product manager success implies a lack of linkage or relationship between outcomes, not a zero-sum game either. There are probabably more than one game being played in this situation. Worse, many other games are being played across the entire firm, so the best game is to leave.

“50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers.”

— And the remaining 15% is vacation?
