Take Advantage of the Wisdom & Experience that is Available
Human beings are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, and yet also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.  
We are hearing statements from many executives such as "I have never seen economic circumstances like this before", and yet there is a wealth of experience out there that
