“Never Judge a book by its cover” is a common saying. However, humans find doing that extremely difficult. We also know the saying “First impressions count”, You could say the first saying is an expression of intent, while the second is an expression of reality.

Style over substance is the idea that, far from “never Judging a book by its cover”, we do generally judge a lot about a book by its cover, and first impressions are indeed extremely important. As we move past first impressions, we move into the area of Style over substance where we tend to be much more impressed by how someone says something rather than what they are saying. This Style over Substance effect can also be applied to things and is heavily used in the presentation of products as well as people, using a lot of style to either detract from or cover up the substance.

Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

'Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care'.

- Theodore Roosevelt

C-Suite: Mandate that people favour Substance over Style, rather than Style over Substance.

Questions to ponder...

Do people in your Enterprise favour style over substance?

Can you think of examples where this has happened in the past?

Who were they? What was the impact? Why do you think they acted in this way?

What needs to change to reduce the likelihood of it happening in the future?

Who needs to drive that change?
