Experience for?
All living things exhibit patterns or
cycles of development, moving from
periods of vitality and growth, to periods
of decay and disintegration.

The pattern of business growth and

decline and the behavior of leaders
follows this same course.
Lawrence M. Miller
It is natural for leaders in every
stage to rely on responses they find

most comfortable
and to fail when they do not adopt
innovative responses.

Lawrence M. Miller
The history of organizations
demonstrates this relationship,
between the

behavior of leaders
and the cycle of growth and
decline.
