Odds are, if someone gives something to you, it will probably cost you something in the end. As a successful corporate executive and coach, what does it mean to me? If you work hard, results and rewards will follow. Don’t expect anything to happen, plan and ensure that it does. Those are MY definitions. Unported License.

This is so much the case that some CEOs will avoid restructuring initiatives at all costs. Give me real leaders who possess courage, vision, and a bias toward action, and spare me the timidity of mediocre managers posing as leaders. The mere discussion of corporate reengineering can cause fear, anxiety, and in some cases even panic.
