Most of the great books I read are disappointing, at best, when they become movies. The Davinci Code, Gone Girl, Absolute Power, Lone Survivor, Hunger Games, The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, The Lincoln Lawyer, 127 Hours, and Heaven is for Real are just some of my recent disappointments.

I have some bad news for you, you are probably not as good as you think you are. I know, it’s not something you want to hear, but you can’t argue research. According to research by David Dunning too many of us suffer from incompetence, but also, and more disappointingly, we don’t have the capacity to know we’re incompetent. In other words, in many areas of our lives, we suck and don’t know we suck.

In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two Pittsburgh banks and robbed them in broad daylight, with no visible attempt at disguise. He was arrested later that night, less than an hour after videotapes of him taken from surveillance cameras were broadcast on the 11 o’clock news. When police later showed him the surveillance tapes, Mr. Wheeler stared in incredulity.

My interest in smarketing best practices started when our Latin American sales team grew a ton in just a few weeks. Suddenly, communication between Sales and Marketing was much harder to get right.
