The Lake Wobegon Effect “Where the women are strong, the men are good looking and all the children are above average.”
Social scientist, David Myers’ textbook Social Psychology, (5th edition) 90% of business managers rated their performance “above average” 86% of workers in another study asserted they were “above average,” while only 1% rated themselves “below average” 60% of 829,000 high school seniors surveyed by the College Entrance Examination Board rated their “ability to get along with others” in the top 10%, while 25% claimed they were in the top 1%. None said they were “below average”
Bain & Company Study A survey of nearly 400 companies found: Nearly all of their senior executives liked to pat themselves on the back for their organizations’ treatment of customers. Ninety-six percent said they were “focused” on the customer. Eighty percent believed they delivered a “superior experience” to their customers.
Bain & Company Study continued… A study of customers were asked to rate the providers of goods and services they bought from: They gave only 8 percent of companies a superior rating!
Avoiding the Lake Wobegon Effect • Consider Your Service Poor • Keep Your Gaze Directed Outward • Constantly Re-evaluate Your Brand and your Company Brand • Focus on What’s Working as well as What’s Not Working
