there remains a convincing argument that long-lived companies are able to thrive many, many years by retaining a very small heart of unchanging values, and then stimulating progress in everything else. at times “everything” may include changing the business the company operates in…migrating, say, from mining to insurance.
outside the core of values, nothing should be exempt from flux. NOTHING.
p.s. pat has been in this spot for 35 yrs…jus’ sayin’…
