Description
Success is often when your biggest vulnerabilities begin to appear. During the Cold War, CIA officers operating in Moscow followed a set of unwritten principles known as the Moscow Rules, built around extreme vigilance in an environment where surveillance and compromise were constant threats. “Assume nothing” became a survival mindset. In today’s episode, we break down why businesses become most exposed when strong results create complacency, and why your best-performing system may deserve more scrutiny—not less. Elite performance means finding the weakness before a competitor, market shift, or operational failure finds it for you.
