Undeniable fact: Everything in existence tends to deteriorate.
Be it a living organism or an organization. Look up something like a listing of the top SP 500 companies say in 1987....how many exist today?
Write... Toyota off...um...Jim Womack's book "The Machine That Changed the World" first published in 1990.....wouldn't write them off just yet.
GM .....forget the government loan, last time I looked their stock price was well below their IPO.... so what's the equity stake (loss) to the taxpayers?
>wheels of failure were already turning.
Agreed, the big question is: are they still turning and what direction are they going?
Tom Peters was been writing about "Excellence" since 1982 and it's a moving target that evolves, something most organizations don't do very well or very quickly. Today's markets require change and it must be made very quickly.
