Changing your mind when the facts change is discipline, not weakness. John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" In most organizations, consistency is treated as a virtue and reversal as a failure. That gets the incentives exactly backward. Markets, demographics, capital costs, and trade flows all move. A position that was correct two years ago can be wrong today through no fault of the person who held it. The fault lies in refusing to update when the evidence does. Holding a view past its expiry date is not conviction. It is ego wearing the costume of discipline. The strongest decision-makers separate identity from position. They can argue a case hard, then abandon it cleanly the moment the data turns. That flexibility is not indecision. It is the highest form of rigor… letting reality, not pride, set the strategy. The cost of the alternative is everywhere. Companies that defended a dying assumption because reversing felt like admitting error. Leaders who anchored to a forecast long after the facts had moved. The market does not reward loyalty to an outdated thesis. It rewards the willingness to weigh new evidence and act on it. Strong opinions are useful. Strong opinions held loosely are far more useful. At Anchora Advisory, we help leadership teams build the discipline of updating strategy as the facts change.
