Quote by Andrea Jung

There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?

Summary

This quote highlights the downside of having experience. It suggests that being experienced can limit one's ability to view a business objectively or with a fresh perspective, akin to how a new CEO would. The quote urges individuals to metaphorically "fire" themselves and imagine coming back as a new leader in order to evaluate the company and make bold changes without the bias or constraints that experience may bring. It challenges the notion of whether someone can truly be detached and objective when they have deep knowledge and familiarity with a business.
