Description
Top 10 Times ONE Dumb Decision DESTROYED a Company Explained Like You're 5.
One decision each. Ten companies gone.
Rolls-Royce signed a fixed price for a jet engine it hadn't figured out how to build, and went into receivership. WordPerfect owned 85 percent of its market and decided Windows could wait. Texaco bought Getty Oil out from under a handshake deal and got hit with the largest jury verdict in American history. And Washington Mutual put "The Power of Yes" on its billboards, then became the biggest bank failure the country has ever seen.
Ten companies, each destroyed by one decision somebody signed off on.
