Management lessons from Euro 2004 - Part 5

Germany - Latvia 0 : 0

Well, what is there to say about the game - Germany ran and ran and ran. Shot here and shot there - no real chances, or, may be one or two. Latavia actually had the bigger chances - well, the two or three they had.

what do we say here? It is all about execution. If one is building up something very nicely, and strongly, and than fails to deliver. That is all there is to say - short and painless. Any company story? May be AT & T in the end 1990s, Enron, that failed miserably - but over promised their success, Apple Computers, great and miraculous in innovations - but than doesn't manage to increase its market shares. Are these good examples? Tell me more, if you know better ones.
