People and companies that are "always right"

Do you know anyone like this in the industry; I'm sure you do!

Here's a couple of related questions:

  • How do you figure out whether they are right, wrong or just early?
  • How do you use, ignore or postpone the use of a technology?
  • If a person or a company is so influential that you can't ignore them, how do you deal with this?

Only Yoda is always right, especially when he makes reference to Road Cycling:


"Remember, a Roadie's strength flows from the Schwartz. But beware. Anger, fear and strange brightly colored clothing...Fredliness are they. Once you start down the path to Fredliness, forever will it dominate your destiny"

ah yes, there are many who believe they were wrong only once (but they were mistaken).....
too many with tunnel vision, who sit on laurels and claim legacy over innovation. these are people afraid to share turf with newcomers.
but there are plenty who embrace change, and share the podium with the next generation.
may the schwartz be with you....
