I don't think it as much as a specific example but more so that as the managers have not had the opportunity to experience success , they become suspect and their buy in became less than desired which I believe could impact the goal.

I would be interested in how others have overcome the obstacles of past strategic initiatives that were not successful or carried out correctly and then getting those same people to be willing to do it again maintaining the openness or optimism we need for strategic thinking to be effective.
