But in some ways, they follow a similar pattern — signs of strain followed by crisis, complacency and then extended trouble. A lesson I have taken from previous recessions is that one of business leaders’ most important responsibilities is demonstrating confidence and competence to capital partners. Yet this is a job that many executives fail at.”
