Someone Else

Reading about the success of business leaders in the press has turned into a leading pastime. Unfortunately, the glowing successes, clearly articulated strategies, and unfailing determination are not always as they seem.

This article talks about getting trapped when stepping into someone else's process. We are led to new ideas by great write-ups in the press and the enthusiasm that they drive. This article provides ideas about what to look out for and how to reasonably set expectations when working to someone else's blueprint.

Originally published in People on Projects, this article is now available here on CompanySmith.com
