http://michaelkerman.blogspot.com/2012/03/fallacy-of-wanting-rewarding-b.html
Michael Kerman - Keeping Business Simple. Monday, March 26, 2012. Fallacy of Wanting "A", Rewarding "B". I think about this all the time. In fact, probably a day or two doesn't go by where I don't see an example of my a former B-school professor labeled "The Fallacy of Wanting "A" and Rewarding "B". Take a software company.

Michael Kerman - Keeping Business Simple. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Thoughts from the Road, Part II. Sure, but they didn't. More fuel for the Collins' "Good to Great" mantra.
