In the late 2000s, I attended a series of meetings with different clients who were all companies from one particular industry. I must have looked deep in thought on the train ride home because my business partner asked me what was on my mind. I told him that I had seen the future in these meetings and didn’t like what I saw, which was a love-fest between like-minded executives and consultants enjoying their shared endorsement of particular causes. These causes, I felt, represented what these corporate and cultural elites personally believed and were about to misrepresent to top executives as the way forward for the company at large.
