AT-RISK
The leader makes most if not all of the decisions, spending roughly 90% of their time in the business. Their cash flow isn’t healthy and if the leaders wasn’t present for a quarter, the business would be in jeopardy.

These companies are always improving their present situation - and always looking forward. For leaders, and everyone else at these organizations, excellence is a way of life.
