Stricklin seems to understand this. Asked about the biggest challenge he faces, he thought back to a speech he once heard from AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson. "He said success is the enemy of innovation," Stricklin said. Then Stricklin elaborated. "When you're really successful, you don't want anybody to move," he said. "You want everybody to stay right where they are because things are going really well for you. Actually, it needs to be the opposite. You need to keep looking for ways to adapt and change and stay ahead. What's the old saying? The only thing constant is change."

That's been the biggest problem here the past 10 years. Complacency. We got to the top, thought we could stay there forever doing the same things we've always done. Time to be aggressive, time to innovate.
