Lehman Brothers
Six months ago at one of our Inspired Leaders Network sessions, a guest rightly predicted that Bear Stearns was in serious trouble and on the brink of going under.
He then went on to say that Lehman Brothers were next. It was greeted with a stunned silence around the room but in both cases he proved to be exactly on the money.
So how did he predict both unlikely outcomes whilst others were oblivious to the problems of these financial powerhouses?
In truth, they were both accidents waiting to happen.
