With a resume like that, it’s easy to understand why Admiral Allen was asked to speak on “Leadership in a Time of Crisis.” You’d be hard pressed to find a leader who’s led more crisis responses with more distinction than Allen.  If you're into leadership and get the chance to hear him, take it.

What do great CEOs do when the business model, the strategic plan, and the revenue hurdles don’t seem to be in alignment? This isn’t rocket science, rather it’s just plain-old, good leadership. That is the question that many a business is forced to ask at some point during their life cycle. They make changes.

Let me be clear that I’m not advocating brand snobbery, just astute brand management based on time tested success principles. Intelligent brands create at least some level of focused planning surrounding the issue of access to prevent overexposure. Once a brand is overexposed it becomes commoditized, diluted, and ultimately.
