If we don't take best practices and apply what we can from these lessons learned, businesses have a greater chance of repeating the same mistakes. I agree with Tom in the respect thatpast experiences won't cover all of the basis (ex: Jack Welch's style of management is much different than Immelt's - who has seen a more profound growth under his management style), but if we're all in business - we should share what we know to help others who don't know...yet.
