How well is your company doing? Are you employing the best business practices and doing them well? Then you are doing good things and are well on the way to success.
Or, are you and your employees failing to own up to problems and neglecting to fix them? Then you need to make changes before the business becomes a disaster.
Worst of all, is there a lack of honesty, correctness, poor incentives you cannot afford, and poor communication inside and outside of the company? If any of these ugly things are true, you are in big trouble.
The stories are real. What you learn and apply will determine your success or failure.
