I would alter this slightly to read, it is probably wrong now.
In business if you've "always" done something wrong you won't have done it for long and are not likely the type of business Mr. Kettering had in mind.
But his point is still made.
Change or die.

a company can change and still die
ReplyDeleteKind of reminds me of the old WWII movies where the troops are pinned down and the sergeant says, "We either get up and get out of here or die where we are."
ReplyDeleteOf course many do die trying to reach safety, but not all.
For me it's more about attempting to control inevitable change rather than being controlled by it.
