I've been in higher education for almost five years now, helping my students equip the survival kits required for "out there where the cold wind blows."   An essential tool in their kit is fact-based hypothesis-driven thinking.

In the last few weeks I've discovered  evidence-based management.

Today, Bob Sutton's blog brings me a link to Why Managing by Facts Works, more support for instilling in students Paul Samuelson's admonition: “There is no substitute for paying attention to the empirical facts of life, and no substitute for systematic reasoning about them.”
