Further- the difference between the received delight and expected delight will dictate how much growth contribution can be realized. Please share a story of a company that understood the vital importance of alignment and grew beyond expectations. And provide an example of a company that was misaligned and never unleashed its full potential. If you could live another 100 years, what would you want to accomplish?
