Reconstructed Leadership: Adventures in Paleo-Leadership

Systems Management Institute Press · Jun 15, 2006

It is time to get serious about the future of business. Problems and challenges abound, even where they once seemed solved. The record confirms my suspicions: This year's solution is next year's problem. I remember one pleasant Florida evening back in 1977 discussing the future with Bud Parrish, a close friend and outstanding executive. We concluded that if the human race could make it through the 1980s without a nuclear nightmare, we would have it made. Life would finally become safe. We certainly were naive - no nuclear nightmare, and the world became a lot more dangerous anyway.
