annual reports to shareholders of publicly held companies.


 
  1. Let's face it: You don't take all that long agonizing over how a report finishes in your evaluation—it's done lickety-split. True or false?  
 
  2. What about big names, corporations that can do you some good: You pretty much decide quickly that they're going to be on your list of world's best—not that that's necessarily bad! True or false?  
 
  3. You proclaim that most attendees at your annual conference are repeat-visitors, but isn't it true you make a mailing every year to the Fortune 1000 to drum up business? If so, doesn't that cast doubts on your contention that few newcomers attend? True or false?  
 
  4. Isn't it pretty much accepted that you take money under the table to name companies to your list of world's best, and that those who refuse to ante up are likely to make the list of world's worst. True or false?  
 
  5. Face it: The only ones likely to warrant praise from you are big companies like IBM, GE and General Motors. Tiny, no-name companies get a pass. True or false?
