    Real Leaders Never Say “Burning Platform”

    ByJoseph Paris July 2, 2013January 6, 2020

    Those of us who are familiar with Continuous Improvement programs have undoubtedly heard references made to a “burning platform”.  We have come to understand that this is a metaphor for a crisis situation and, along with it, the sense of urgency that is necessary to effectively react and overcome the crisis.  If you “Google” the…
