The late Geary Rummler – We Can’t Get There From Here (1969)

Geary gave me this – and while the post-it note read 1975 – he gave it to me in 1981 – and it was originally written in 1969 as a book foreword…- see the article below that he created and disseminated at MTEC back in the day.

Note how it is still too true today…
