I think that companies always become complacent, over time. Or most companies, that is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.
It's competition that forces companies to get out of their complacency.
You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.
Eventually, all companies are replaced.
Usually, the biggest companies are not the most dynamic.
Companies, like people, don't much like to change.
So companies have to be very schizophrenic. On one hand, they have to maintain continuity of strategy. But they also have to be good at continuously improving.
Many companies don't exist after 25 years. It's a rarity. Or if they do exist, they're like IBM, with a totally changing personality.
Business is constantly changing, constantly evolving.
We can all get complacent. Especially when it comes to a job.
