The "positive thinking to rational analysis" continuum
But in business the positive thinking thing is often a big warning sign - it's normally an indication of the delusional.
​
People seem to think that if they believe in something it'll happen...
​
Pretty much why the current economic mess happened.
​
Perhaps the bad to good hierarchy is:
​
1) Positive thinking.
​
2) Common sense.
​
3) Rational analysis.
​
Or at least temper (1) with (2) and (3).
