Many leaders of middle-market companies—especially if they’re the founders—have a never-ending desire to stay ahead. They love the thought of winning, and likewise, hate the thought of losing. These are terrific positive leadership qualities and we strongly support them. The problem however is that they often forget the strategy that drove their company to its current success has already proven itself a winner. So, continuously contemplating new and different directions—although exciting—makes little sense because it could use up precious time and resources and cause the company to lose its way.
