“They don’t know what they’re doing!” said my client, squirming indignantly. “Our leaders just don’t have what it takes to lead a company our size.” As the CEO of an organization whose headcount had grown by 1,000% in three years, he had a point.

Organizations with the greatest possibility of success also have the greatest possibility of failure. That is, the same behaviors and characteristics that maximize a company’s probability of notable success also maximize its probability of failure.
