Let me give you a great example…It is not at all uncommon for an executive to tell me that his/her business doesn’t really have any competition.

The reality is that great leaders all seem to possess an innate sense of timing such that most executives have a very clear understanding of the critical role timing plays as a survival skill at the C-suite level. So much so, that if you don’t think timing is everything - think again.

Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case.

As odd as it sounds, businesses that are not dependant on smart talent, capital, or technology can scale faster and easier than those businesses burdened with the aforementioned dependencies.

It is my experience that they either lack the personal skill sets, or haven’t built the right executive team to lead change, they just don’t recognize the need for change, or they just don’t care. So why is it that so many CEOs shirk their responsibility, stick their heads in the sand, and avoid making necessary changes?
