Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and there are without question issues with a number of companies on that list. However, that does not change the manner in which the leadership of the companies viewed their contemporary success and how it came about. I found it extremely interesting that such high-level leaders could swallow their pride and attribute success to good fortune. It is trivially simple to dismiss luck as a huge factor due to our own egos being in the way, and the fact that these people were so publicly adamant about their lucky streak suggests to me a level of humility rarely seen in that echelon of executive power.
