“Luck is not a strategy” the authors conclude. What determines any organization’s success is how it prepares for both good and bad luck. They call this getting a “positive return” on luck and, if Good to Great’s four million-plus sales are anything to go by, this idea will be embedded in corporate speak before you know it -- Philip Delves Broughton, author of What They Teach you At Harvard Business School * Management Today *
