  • Inviting Disaster quotes

Both airship and spacecraft were prisoners of the many promises made to get them built: promises of safety, low cost, on-time performance, and solid technology. In hindsight, the manic drive and optimism that got the work under way would look tragically misguided. According to Gerald C. Meyers, former chairman of American Motors, business managers in general avoid making contingency plans for failure. That's the kind of tack taken by losers and negative thinkers; a manager sees his job as planning for product success and continual market growth instead.
