Taking the analogy even further you also need to play the course as you find it. If that means hitting the ball sideways to get out of the rough, so be it.

At the risk of stretching the metaphor, there's a great golfing adage that says "you get what you think you're going to get". Very like the oft-used Ford quote that says "whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right". In golf, as in business, vision and self belief is key, not only in taking strong, positive decisions, but in the follow-through. In golf it's one of the most important elements of the swing, in business it's the demonstration of commitment that infuses engagement into an organisation. Stuart, really good analogy.
