Now, after having read the article, I can finally look back and say "Ohh, now I understand why that happened!"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535128029717307615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-4681089056970763402007-10-09T22:11:00.000-04:002007-10-09T22:11:00.000-04:00I've read your Nut Island Effect article before; i...I've read your Nut Island Effect article before; it's very intuitive, and - once you identify the dynamic - it's easy to spot various manifestations of it across a range of teams and organizations. A very interesting observation, and a beautiful articulation of it. Your smokejumpers story from some weeks back made me think that there's some element of the nut island effect going on there, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-16820331659055598272007-10-09T21:44:00.000-04:002007-10-09T21:44:00.000-04:00Sorry, pesha, the whole story tells the story.Sorr...Sorry, pesha, the whole story tells the story.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, anon 9:16, but it is a business school publication!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-57952284206058025082007-10-09T21:16:00.000-04:002007-10-09T21:16:00.000-04:00I think its awesome that HBR will sell you a pdf e...I think its awesome that HBR will sell you a pdf electronic copy of the article for $6.50, or sell you a license to photocopy it from someone else's copy of the magazine for $4.50.

I don't get it. I love the counter-intuitive hook and the illogical conclusion but without the explanation of the Nut Island effect, I'm lost.
