Lessons 18 Lessons for Leaders from Colin Powell Once the information is in the 40 to 70 range, go with your gut. Don't wait until you have enough facts to be 100% sure, because by then it is almost always too late.... More Case in Point Konosuke Matsushita Panasonic's founder Konosuke Matsushita said, "No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it." His intuition was amazing. He saw markets before they were there.

Case in Point Steve Jobs Steve Jobs is one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our generation. His success story is legendary. Put up for adoption at an early age, dropped out of college after 6 months, slept on friends floors, returned coke bottles for 5 cent deposits to buy food, then went on to start Apple Computers and Pixar Animation Studios.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."...

But during the first half of of the 90s, 3M grew its top line less than 4% despite the brilliance of its entrepreneurial technologists. There wasn't enough feedback from the marketplace missing were the insight into the customer's mind, and the intuitive observations about needs that could have translated inventiveness into powerful growth." In late 90s, new leadership got the company back on track with outside-in growth initiatives.
