There IS "safety and security" in a comfortable routine, but there is no forward movement. Do any of our readers remember "Polaroid" or "Digital Equipment Corporation"??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517054023431864957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505321001193533635.post-27647740608023718342012-05-28T10:31:41.714-04:002012-05-28T10:31:41.714-04:00The lesson you teach in your blog Professor Hazl...The lesson you teach in your blog Professor Hazlett apply to businesses, and therefore their leaders, as well. Companies can be very successful and then get caught up in their own success. The routine of the winning formula becomes a routine which then becomes a rut. Their success may only last a short time until the competition not only catches up, but passes them. I have seen this over and over. <br /><br />Like Prof Hazlett's pre-caffeine example in Taipei, a company must break out of its comfort zone, constantly reinvent itself, and take well thought out risks during the process. <br /><br />Remember, companies are comprised of people.
