This customer-first; projects-first focus is great in the earlier stages of development but starts to impact sustainable growth over time.  Typical symptoms include:


“Leaders of companies that go from good to great start not with ‘where’ but with ‘who’.

And they stick with that discipline - first the people, then the direction - no matter how dire the circumstances.”

- Jim Collins
