| Abstract: | Knowing when and how to say NO is a critical part of a director's job. Done appropriately by all directors, dissent can lead a company to success. Asked what went wrong at General Motors that led to its calamitous decline in the 1980s, Roger Smith, GM's then allpowerful chairman and CEO, said, "I don't know... it's a mysterious thing." |
