While every situation is unique, I've found that a consistent blueprint dramatically improves the odds of success. Here are the five principles I come back to every time. 1. Make your own assessment. Don't inherit opinions—develop your own. Before making major decisions, validate everything through firsthand observation, data, and facts. 2. Cast a wide net.

The employee engagement numbers made the problem clear:    Engagement: 32%  Survey participation: 49% For reference, high performers run above 70% on engagement and 90% on participation. We could have ignored those numbers and gone straight after business...]]></description><link>https://www.dennislestrange.com/post/growing-in-a-declining-market-lessons-from-the-ceo-seat</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6a5159328f65b106579c19</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:16:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/138cab_8620ff759a804f36b6e3a5bfa1ab6ea8~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_900,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dennis P.
