-THE CUNNING REALIST-: A Job Well Done: "I've worked for organizations in which failure was rewarded. For a business, it is debilitating and destructive, and it usually occurs because someone plays golf with the boss better than he performs on the job. When it happens in organizations like the CIA and the Army, it's also because someone is 'playing ball' well, albeit for far higher stakes. For a nation, it is no less destructive than for a business. "
