Three Kinds of Communities
1. “Those that act together as one entity. They
have the energy to get the deal completed.
They know what is going on at their plant,
and they know what is going on in the
industry.
2. Communities that have the energy to get the
deal done, but have no idea what’s going on
at their plant or in the industry.
3. Communities that (flat out) don’t care.”
