In response to my statement, "These unpredictable events make controlling
the future unrealistic. The > only viable alternative is to be fast and
flexible so you can respond."

Tobin Quereau added, "...and perhaps extra creative, committed, and lucky
as well!"

I really agree with that, and this is where the paradox comes in.
Companies cannot be creative or committed, only their employees. How does
one get creativity and commitment from an employee whose career at one
company is 7 years, and he or she knows it? I don't think it's likely.
