Your insightful story deeply connected with me and reflected my four decades of observations in the corporate world. IBM was a prime example, where a visionary leader like Lou Gerstner championed a customer-focused leadership approach when the historical company was about to collapse. I was there and felt the pain created by the wrong strategy at the time. Your key message for leaders—to avoid compromising the future by indulging in present desires that could have detrimental effects—truly resonates with that experience. Thank you for writing this powerful message so clearly with excellent examples.
