Why Leadership Matters
CONFRONT THE
 BRUTAL FACTS

      You absolutely cannot make a
      series of good decisions without
      first confronting the brutal facts.

      - Jim Collins
BRUTAL FACT:
THERE WAS NO COHESIVE STRATEGY
“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”
                                                 Wayne Gretzky
