Good Fortune

Adrian Savage, who is interesting even (especially?) if you disagree with him, has some more observations on the workplace. An excerpt:

The most common cause of business success is good fortune, not good strategy. Napoleon was asked what kind of person he valued most as a general. He replied, "A lucky one." Only egomaniacs, crazed dictators and politicians claim the credit for every success and blame all the failures on other people. Oh…and top executives.
