Patrick Henry HughesPatrick Henry Hughes was born with a rare genetic disorder that left him without eyes and physically disabled. But he was also blessed with exceptional musical talent -- able to play the piano as a toddler and now, at age 19, a nationally known pianist, singer, and trumpeter who has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the Kennedy Center. Currently he's a member of his college marching band, playing while his devoted father pushes him in his wheelchair.

Paul B. Carroll and Chunka MuiMost executives shudder at the word "failure" and try to avoid thinking about it. No wonder there are thousands of books about successful companies but virtually none about the lessons to be learned from those that crash and burn.

They found that the #1 cause of failure was misguided strategy? not sloppy execution, lack of leadership, or bad luck.
