Whether you’re a leader in a large public company, or an emerging start-up, you can’t afford to coast if you intend to win. Rest when you must, but never coast. Your team/organization is counting on you to drive new ideas for growth; your competitors are just waiting for you to take your foot off the gas. Are you out far enough ahead of them? Do you know where the ripest and biggest opportunities lie?

Skate Where the Puck is Going to Be
