Cinderella’s sisters would do anything to get their feet into the glass slipper.  They cut off their toes, and when that didn’t work, they tried trimming off a bit of their heels.   All they did was create a bloody mess.  The slipper wasn’t designed for them.

In business, it’s sometimes desirable to present your ideas in a format people are more comfortable with.   That’s always something worth exploring.  If you want to change minds, it’s helpful to start with the familiar as a way to introduce something new.

Be careful though.

If you find yourself mangling the idea to make it fit, this shoe is not for you.

Find (or make) a new one.
