Transition in the Business World: The Bobby Principle

How many of us have a friend named “Bobby”? 

Maybe you've known Bobby for awhile, perhaps since grade-school. If you’re like most of us, life is full, so you lose track of Bobby for awhile. Years later, when your paths cross (maybe he sends you a friend request on Facebook, or you meet up again at a class reunion), you warmly welcome your old comrade…  “Who?!??”  There is no getting around it. Bobby isn’t called “Bobby” anymore; he now goes by “Robert.” 

How challenging is it to suddenly know your friend Bobby as “Robert”? Whether or not you like the change, you must adapt. Transfer this scenario to the business world, and this is what The Q calls “The Bobby Principle.”
