“You need to know exactly where you stand in a business at all times. Measure everything, because everything that is measured and watched improves.”

If you want to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

All of those things can happen – and then you give an interview two seconds later.
