What does it mean that corporate life extends both before and

beyond the climaxes?

That corporate life is both exciting and boring, and that

both aspects are important

That corporate life is essentially dealing with one crisis

after another, so when one crisis is being managed,

other crises must be prevented as well.

That corporate life isn't a lead$-$up to a single goal, but a

series of accomplishing goals and then set out to

ieve new ones.

That corporate life, and one's career within it$,$ is defined

by the big moments of success or failure, so pay

attention during the mundane because a big moment

may be nearby.
