“The optimist already sees the scar over the wound; the pessimist still sees the wound underneath the scar,” was said by Ernst Schroder. I read his words recently on a plane flying between towns to do my BoomtownUSA talk. I’d just visited a couple of towns that had lost plants in the past couple of years. How did they approach their loss?
The optimistic town viewed having an empty building and an underutilized workforce as unique assets that they could sell to prospective companies. The pessimistic town wrung their hands and bemoaned the loss.
What is your approach?
