Imagine the performance pendulum moving with the four “magnets” of performance on the table

In a magnetic pendulum If the movement is so large that the ball can get outside the influence of the magnets, the resulting movement will look irregular.

In a magnetic pendulum If one or more of the magnets is weak or virtually absent the pendulum may swing easier outside the “control” of the magnets

The pendulum would best swing within the boundary of the sweet zone

Contribution by: David Navarro

The yellow zone is what I understand you call the sweet zone.If one or more of the magnets are too far away from the center of the cone, or company's mission, the yellow zone could go out of company's boundaries, the base of the cone.

Only when the ball is perfectly balanced, immovable at the center of the company's mission, because all the forces are in balance, a company is able to take the next step upwards.

Otherwise, you are going to bang in the walls
