Vigilant vs operational leaders

Excellent Wharton article on Vigilant vs Operational
leaders... It touches on Ford vs Toyota (guess which type of leader is which) as well as
Coke vs Pepsi in India and the lighting manufacturers missing the switch to
LEDs. Essentially the article distinguishes between looking just at the
operational issues of lower cost production and matching the competitors
you know, vs looking outside at a broader range of influences and moving
earlier. Makes sense to me.
