FEATURED PRODUCT Time, Talent, Energy by Michael C. Mankins and Eric Garton Business leaders know that the key to competitive success is smart management of scarce resources. That’s why companies allocate their financial capital so carefully. But capital today is cheap and abundant, no longer a source of advantage.
