Robert A. Rudzki "No company is created to fail. Yet the odds are stacked against corporations surviving more than a few decades.

And new research shows that many more are starting to atrophy as their leaders turn their focus to managing complexity—and away from leading for the future. A new, nine-element framework can help you diagnose your organization’s health, and address the factors that increase corporate life expectancy."
