Big Questions for "Secret Ingredient for Success" (NYTimes)
Posted on February 4, 2014 February 4, 2014 in Business, rantby Scott Berkun
Ranting about opinion pieces isn't generally worthwhile, but some pieces are deeply flawed and popular enough that they demand critiquing. I've taken Susan Cain and Jonah Lehrer to task in the past, and I've come across another post worthy of examination.
The article is a New York Times opinion piece titled "Secret Ingredient For Success" and the title itself is hyperbole: what they describe is no secret and it's not necessarily an ingredient for success.
Even it's opening story is problematic on several counts:
WHAT does self-awareness have to do with a restaurant empire? A tennis championship? Or a rock star's dream? David Chang's experience is instructive…
He recalls a low moment when he went with his staff on a night off to eat burgers at a restaurant that was everything his wasn't — packed, critically acclaimed and financially successful. He could cook better than they did, he thought, so why was his restaurant failing? "I couldn't figure out what the hell we were doing wrong," he told us.
Mr. Chang could have blamed someone else for his troubles, or worked harder (though available evidence suggests that might not have been possible) or he could have made minor tweaks to the menu. Instead he looked inward and subjected himself to brutal self-assessment. Was the humble noodle bar of his dreams economically viable? Sure, a traditional noodle dish had its charm but wouldn't work as the mainstay of a restaurant if he hoped to pay his bills.
Mr. Chang changed course. Rather than worry about what a noodle bar should serve, he and his cooks stalked the produce at the greenmarket for inspiration. Then they went back to the kitchen and cooked as if it was their last meal, crowding the menu with wild combinations of dishes they'd want to eat — tripe and sweetbreads, headcheese and flavor-packed culinary mashups like a Korean-style burrito.
Here's the rundown on poor logic in this opening story:
This story suffers from survivorship bias. How many restauranteurs make the same type of choice Chang did and still fail? Many.
It doesn't show Chang as particularly self-aware. There's no mention in the story that he's aware of his tendencies, his thinking process or his biases (or even thinks of himself as particularly self-aware). The story merely says he chose to continue the same career, and same restaurant, by taking a new risk in the face of failure. He might be very self-aware but nothing in the article suggests it.
He was working 18 hour days. Was he aware of his workaholism? Aware of the impact on his health?
And worst of all, nothing in this story, or the entire article, is a secret. The notion of pivoting a business is an old idea, far older than the term itself.
The article falls further into overwrought and unnecessary theory:
During the 1970s, Chris Argyris, a business theorist at Harvard Business School (and now, at 89, a professor emeritus) began to research what happens to organizations and people, like Mr. Chang, when they find obstacles in their paths.
Professor Argyris called the most common response single loop learning — an insular mental process in which we consider possible external or technical reasons for obstacles.
LESS common but vastly more effective is the cognitive approach that Professor Argyris called double-loop learning.
A better and simpler term for this is metacognition, or the ability to think about how you think. It's an ancient idea that was also popularized and given this name in the 1970s. Metacognition is a term often used for learning, and learning how to learn, but it's applicable to skill development too.
More importantly, there are always multiple obstacles in front of us. The question is when will we deal with them and how? There's a good argument you can't deal with every obstacle at the same time and you have to choose carefully which challenge you take on, and how you decide to move on to the next one.
Arguably Chang was desperate. Is desperation a valuable forcing function? How is desperation different from courage? These are good questions raised by Chang's story, but not raised in the article.
The successful people we spoke with — in business, entertainment, sports and the arts — all had similar responses when faced with obstacles: they subjected themselves to fairly merciless self-examination that prompted reinvention of their goals and the methods by which they endeavored to achieve them.
They have this story backwards: these people didn't set out to be self-aware. They set out to ACHIEVE. They were already highly competitive and high functioning individuals who had failed. With their level of commitment they would have tried just about anything to achieve their goals and in the case of already successful athletes (Martina Navratilova is mentioned) they had coaches and trainers who were experts at analyzing their weaknesses and training them to use new approaches.
Another observation: high achievers are sometimes assholes. They can be narcissistic, self-centered and frustrating to live or work with. Are high achievers self aware in this way? I'd love to know but it's not a question suggested (e.g. what are the downsides of being a "high achiever"?).
The indie rock band OK Go described how it once operated under the business model of the 20th-century rock band. But when industry record sales collapsed and the band members found themselves creatively hamstrung by their recording company, they questioned their tactics. Rather than depend on their label, they made wildly unconventional music videos, which went viral, and collaborative art projects with companies like Google, State Farm and Range Rover, which financed future creative endeavors. The band now releases albums on its own label.
This example has nothing to do with self-awareness or metacognition. The band was frustrated with their music label! Is there any band that isn't? Do you know how many bands have made unconventional music videos to get attention (most of them)? Do you know how few get offered projects by Google and State Farm (almost none)? This is an even more egregious example of survivorship bias than the Chang story (although the famous treadmill video for the song "Here It Goes Again" is fun to watch). Most bands that followed similar thinking as Ok Go did not see the same results.
But what we learned from conversation with high achievers is that challenging our assumptions, objectives, at times even our goals, may sometimes push us further than we thought possible. Ask David Chang, who never imagined that sweetbreads and duck sausage rice cakes with kohlrabi and mint would find their way beside his humble noodle dishes — and make him a star.
That last sentence is a complete mistruth and contradiction: Chang did imagine that sweetbreads and duck sausage would find their way next to noodle dishes. It was his idea, at least according to the opening story.
What I think they meant to say is his imagination was fueled by:
his commitment to his craft
his persistence in the face of failure
his willingness to take risks and try new approaches
These are admirable traits, but none are new, none are secrets and sadly none are at the center of this poorly constructed article.

Nice analysis, Scott. Posts with titles like "Secret Ingredient For Success" are essentially linkbait. As you point out, the history of business and technology teaches us that many things are only evident or obvious in Hindisght. Books like The Black Swan, The Halo Effect, The Signal and the Noise, Everything Is Obvious, and others make this point very clear.
Of course, great storytellers like Gladwell ostensibly help us make sense of our confused, chaotic, and often random world. Brass tacks: everything isn't simple. If it were, everyone would be successful for following apocryphal tips like the ones in the NYT piece.

Thanks for the clarifications of your view. My own bias, based on similar personal experience, led me to read the article more positively initially.
Scott February 4, 2014 at 12:22 pm. Permalink.
Part of my frustration with the article comes from a similar source. There is potentially a good story and useful insights to come from examining David Chang and Ok Go, but they entirely dodged them :)

I should mention I like David Chang for his charming persona on Season 1 of The Mind of A Chef, narrated by Anthony Bourdain.
I've never met him nor eaten in his restaurants, but I can recommend you watch this show. Season 2 is good as well.

Excellent take down! Thanks Scott.
This is the kind of article (the original) I would have read and supped up a few years ago. I've learn since that I'm too willing to accept what I read from reputable sources (NYT), and I need to check myself and cast a more critical eye. Now that's self awareness!

FWIW, Chris Argyris' body of research is pretty compelling. In particular he did a lot of good work on how to practically develop "metacognition" (if you prefer the term) in individuals and groups.
(The Ancients bang on a lot about metacognition, but weren't noted for much success in spreading it beyond elite philosophic types…)

I was confused when I read this piece on NYT awhile ago but you made it clear why. I thought it was a positive article but I had no takeaways.


Ronald Dworkin has developed an original and highly influential legal theory grounding law in morality, characterized by a unique ability to tie together abstract philosophical ideas and arguments with concrete everyday concerns in law, morals, and politics.
Dworkin provides a balanced solution to the intractable controversy between the two major legal schools of the 20th century: legal positivism and natural law. He understands the legal system as consisting of rules as well as principles, the latter being of moral nature (Taking Rights Seriously, 1977). Values and purposes become an inherent part of propositions of law through the activity of interpretation. A connected, important concept is the integrity of law, which requires judges to assume that the law must be structured by a coherent set of principles about justice, fairness and due process. In order to treat each individual equally, these principles must be enforced anew in each and every case (Law's Empire, 1986). Dworkin's most famous and contested thesis, namely the "one right answer" or "best possible interpretation" theory belongs in this context.
Dworkin has elaborated a liberal egalitarian theory emphasizing equality of dignity and respect and devoted to the conviction that at the heart of any decent conception of justified political action lies the idea of individual human worth (Life's Dominion, 1993; Freedom's Law, 1996; Sovereign Virtue, 2000). In recent years, Dworkin has worked on the conflict between majoritarianism and moral principles in a polarized society (Is Democracy Possible Here?, 2006).
Dworkin's pioneering scholarly work has had world wide impact. He has also participated extensively in public debate of contemporary political and legal issues.

Libs Progress From Offering Sanctuary From Threats Abroad To Needing Sanctuary From Threats Within
Thinking Americans will fondly recall the old (well at least as old as last year, given the frequency with which liberal Democrats are finding things to hate about America in the first year of the Trump administration) leftist screed that the illegal immigrants flowing like water across our borders were simply seeking "asylum", then they renamed it "sanctuary", from a foreign, oppressive, poverty-plagued, tyrannical government, and they claimed these unfortunate people were coming to America simply to find a place where they could raise their families in an environment of peace and opportunity.
Then Donald Trump was elected and liberals suddenly and gleefully took great offense in his identifying the foreign illegal immigrant invaders as refugees simply trying to escape foreign "hellholes". The Democrat jargon immediately switched from these illegal immigrants needing sanctuary from the foreign rulers, to needing sanctuary from the President of the United States. Liberals were, of course, eager to identify a new crisis that they could politicize and profit from, so they began setting up "sanctuary" cities and then "sanctuary" states, that would protect these mostly-peaceful invaders of our borders from the evil Donald Trump. Another way of expressing the sanctuary lie is that liberals were protecting their future voters from the laws duly passed by the legislature of the United States. In still other words, they were and are breaking federal law.
What really happened is that liberals set up fictitious areas of refuge, called areas of "sanctuary", that we now know are protecting murderers, thieves and wife beaters from justice, and it allows these criminals to continue to prey on the peaceful illegals also residing in sanctuary cities, with no fear of being arrested and put behind bars nor of being deported for their crimes.
So now the illegal aliens are securely ensconced in the United States where they can cast votes for Democrat candidates and assure a Democrat majority for the next fifty years, and the pivot in their ridiculous "sanctuary" scheme is that immigrants are being protected by liberal mayors and governors from any obstruction to their being illegally given a right to vote so they can become the new welfare class living in fear and poverty under Democrat tutelage, kind of like the old urban, poor, blacks that were kept on the Democrat plantation for so many years, and who are now finding employment, rising again to the middle class and approaching full employment after being liberated by the Trump administration, from the former Democrat entrapment.
One has to give Democrats credit for finding new voters to keep them in office, and now is a time when scandals and illegal acts from the top levels of the Obama administration, along with Trump's reduced tax rates and the resulting improved job market, are reducing the Democrats' chances of ever again gaining power from English-speaking and English-reading Americans. The new under-class residing in sanctuary cities and states only know that now they are getting enough to eat, their kids are in school, they are getting free healthcare and are getting welfare checks, and since many can neither understand nor read English, they don't know that they are being taken advantage of by crooked Democrats and will in due course find themselves in a new form of hellhole in these liberal enclaves.
One hopes that our government will put these criminal Democrat "sanctuary" leaders in jail, soon.

Did you know that July is Lost Pet Prevention Month? While no one likes to think of their furry friends getting lost, unfortunately it does happen. This is one area where an ounce of prevention can be worth several pounds of cure! In this article from Arapahoe Animal Hospital, your Boulder, CO vet, serving Louisville and surrounding areas, a local vet offers tips on keeping your pet safe at home.
Microchipping is great, but regular ID tags are also very important. They're also required by law in many places! If your four-legged pal does get lost, tags are still the easiest way for someone to contact you.
Do you have a yard for your canine buddy to run around in? Make sure that your fencing is secure, and is too high for your dog to jump over. You'll also want to check the bottom of the fence, and look for gaps that Fido could dig under or crawl through. You can make the fence more secure by burying chicken wire beneath it, and weighting that down with rocks. We also highly recommend getting self-latching gates.
Keeping your feline pal inside will greatly reduce the chances of her getting lost. If your kitty has a habit of trying to run out the door, work on making her nervous of the door. Don't punish your cat for trying to get out: this will only make her even more determined to escape. Instead, squirt her with water or make a loud noise when she approaches the door. This will annoy her without hurting her. Cats hate being annoyed!
Do you have questions about your pet's health or care? Call us at Arapahoe Animal Hospital, your Boulder, CO vet, serving Louisville and surrounding areas, today!

When you're moving house as a parent in the Croydon area, you may need to find ways to keep your children entertained. While it's likely that they'll find the home removals process exciting, they may also grow tired. Fortunately, there are ways you can make things less tiring for everyone involved. Try to arrange childcare well in advance of the move. If your children are still quite young, you may want to arrange childcare in advance of the move. Similarly, placing pets in a kennel or cattery can make the process easier. If possible, drop off the kids with their grandparents or another family member the day before you move house so you can get started early.

US universities nonetheless lead China in joint research with industry
Chinese universities still lag properly behind their Yarlesac counterparts inside the U.S.A. in terms of operating on studies with industry, in step with a brand new analysis, despite their dramatic ascent up international league tables because of the flip of the millennium.
Susceptible highbrow assets rights and a loss of belief between universities and businesses had been blamed for China's quite underdeveloped hyperlinks.
Simply over 6 in step with cent people courses are joint efforts among the academy and industry, compared with Simply 2.7 in keeping with a cent in China, the new research unearths.
More than one in 10 papers are executed together with industry; however, only some establishments in China had anything near drawing near this fee of engagement.
At Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong College, and Fudan College, the share was 4 percent or lower.
Yuzhuo Cai, an accessory professor at the University of Tampere in Finland and expert on innovation in China, stated that he agreed that Chinese universities had been "lagging" at the back of establishments in the US and Europe in terms of cooperation with the enterprise.

"inside the US, there has been a subculture for College and business to collaborate (with higher agree with among the 2 sectors)," he informed Instances higher Schooling. This changed into boosted in 1980 with the Bayh-Dole Act inside the US, which allowed universities to preserve rights to improvements and gave them greater of a role in parenting. "With years of exercise, each sector now has got greater used to analyze collaboration," he stated.
,However, in China, there may be little trust between the two sides, and neither is there an effective investment gadget to inspire it. China's safety of intellectual assets and contracts changed into additionally "incomplete," he brought, at the same time, as universities themselves regularly preferred to create their own corporations to commercialize new discoveries, he stated.
However, the state of affairs can also have modified in current years as the Chinese language government has stepped up efforts to enhance universities' function, said Ping Zhou, a professor at Zhejiang University and a co-creator of the study, 'College-industry Collaboration in China and the united states: A Bibliometric Evaluation,' posted in PLoS One, which looked at statistics from the years 2009-12.
China is trying to harness College research to move its economy far from low-cost production and quit its reliance on imported technology (despite the fact that there are critics who question whether universities can or should play a key function in economic increase).
In advance, this 12 months, China's president Xi Jinping advised scientists to "reply to the user's important strategic demands" and "advance studies into core technology" as a part of a broader technological know-how and generation push.
Professor Zhou additionally mentioned that different measures of College links with industry exist aside from joint studies. Several Chinese universities scored enormously in a 2015 THE measure of the cash they obtained from industry, despite the fact that none featured in a desk of those whose research has generally been noted in patients.

We have been working with June Prentice of Waterford, CT to identify a number of Prentices interred in the Ceder Grove Cemetery in New London, CT. So far we have not been able to identify the parents and ancestors of the following persons:
Alfred Prentis and his wife, Mary. Their daughter, Nellie, was b. c. 1871 in Mystic, CT and was buried 24 Sep 1882. They do not appear in the 1870 or 1880 CT census.
Charles Prentice, b. c. 1835-47, and Nancy, b. c. 1846 in New London and bur. 24 Apr 1881. Update: He is the son of Edward Prentice and a descendant of Valentine Prentice's son, Jonathan.
Charles Prentis, b. c. 1850-65, and Susan DeWolf, b. 19 Sep 1865 and d. 30 Sep 1948. Update: He is the son of Edward Prentice and a descendant of Valentine Prentice's son, Jonathan. Nancy, above, was his first wife and Susan was his second wife.
George Prentis, b. c. 1843 and d. 11 Jun 1889. Called "of New York City." He might be a son of Sylvanus B. Prentis, below. He might be the George W. Prentice, Bookkeeper, shown in the 1880 New York City census who was b. c. 1843 in CT (with both parents b. in CT) and whose wife is identified as Georgianna, b. c. 1844, NY.

Hello... Could you please tell me if these are the names of people who are buried there? For example, Sylvanus B Prentiss is my great-great-great grandfather - I would love to make the trip back from Morocco to visit his grave if he is there for sure. Thanks much in advance.
