Success can be contagious. Look at sports teams and organizations, as well as individuals. Those who succeed tend to do so repeatedly. Where they go, success follows.
We are surprised and even alarmed by the regularity and predictability of the success. Not the one-offs. Those can be surprising, but do they continue? It is not the more elaborate or expensive. It is the best positioned. New heads, a new manager, and new individual performers come in, and the success continues.
Yet look further up. There are those with ample resources and opportunities who never win. They always have something that is not in their favor. Yet the competitors prevail.
Those at the helm are critical to the culture, the processes, the people, and the results. Look no further. The winners will continue to win, and the moaners will be left to groan.
