    I would argue these are the exceptions that prove the rule. They all have demonstrable leaders that made this happen. Xerox is done, as is AT&T, as those leaders are long gone. Sony is another one that lost their leader and their magic. I would argue Apple is on this route now as we are only now seeing the impact of losing Jobs.

      Are small companies immune to losing their leader and their way? Or is it just that we don't notice because there are so many small companies?
