Length:
10 minutes

It's said, "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." And sometimes, you need to know how to deal when the deck is stacked against you. In the business world, that means knowing how to face off against competitors who seem to have more of, well, everything, and, against all odds, wind up with the winning hand.

In this Take 10, competitive strategy and marketing consultant Stephen Denny gives you the nitty-gritty on getting scrappy and actually capitalizing on (seemingly) overwhelming business challenges. You'll learn how to call on your stakeholders to reach more people, how to shift perceptions about your company, and how to use other people's sense of self-interest to even the odds.
