What Happened
Former Intel CEO Andy Grove warned that business success attracts competition and disruption, making constant vigilance essential. Grove coined 'only the paranoid survive' in 1996, emphasizing that managers must guard against threats and foster guardian attitudes in employees. His philosophy stemmed from Intel's near-collapse in the 1980s when Japanese competitors dominated memory chips, forcing Grove to pivot the company toward microprocessors, ultimately saving it and powering the personal computer revolution.
