Thriving or Surviving - Why Organizations Succeed
Understanding the critical factors for success
“Consider any great organization – one that has lasted over the years – I think you will find it owes its resiliency not to its form of organization or administrative skills, but to the power of what we call beliefs and the appeal these beliefs have for its people.†(Thomas Watson Jnr)
“One of the primary, fundamental faults with American management is that over the years it has lost its zest for adventure, for taking risk, for doing something that no one has done before.†(Harold Geneen)
