Asset Management. They still don't have a good handle on where everything they bought actually is. While in better shape then they were, if Cummins had to do one thing over, it would be to make the asset manager a key team player at the front end, rather than at the end of the process.

Success should have a very positive career impact. If any of this is missing, well, early retirement does have its benefits. However, I would suggest that doing this right might be the better choice.
