I’ve ran across this quote from a great advertising consultant thinker, Sam Meers.

“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”
– General George Patton

Sam continues by writing, “When was the last time someone challenged your thinking?” In a corporate environment, it’s easy to fall subject to groupthink (just ask “the bobs”). This quote really hits at the concept that while you shouldn’t challenge everything just for the sake of it — make sure you are thinking from all perspectives and asking the right questions (even if it is just to yourself). If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking. Don’t let that person be you.
