The
KITSIMFIL Planner

Executive Speed Read


A US Army General, addressing the graduating cadets of the US Military Academy at West Point in 1918 said, “Shortly you will be put in charge of other men.  When you are, remember to treat each man fairly, not equally.  What you say to one will roll off his back like water on a duck.  That same remark to another man will cut him to the quick of his soul.  Treat your men fairly, not equally.”


Treating your key people ‘equally’ is neither wise nor effective at building the kind of trust you want as their advisor.   It makes the assumption that your prospects, clients, raving fan advocates and strategic alliances are of equal value to you and equal in their ability to trust you.  Treat your key people fairly . . . appropriately . . . but never ‘equally’.
