Under his leadership, Taylor's company "has fallen into a comfort zone," a result of the success that they had attained under his management. However, as years passed, and as Taylor stubbornly fought the changes that occurred regarding business management and organization, his company has fallen and is struggling to keep up with the small business owners of today (the frontrunners), while at the same time, his leadership has sunk, along with the profits and sales of the company.
