ABSTRACT
"One very important ingredient of success is a good, wide-awake, persistent, tireless enemy." In the light of this statement, the article focuses on the role played by villians in organizational success. Since villains are so significant, program managers would do well to understand the types of villains they may encounter and the various contributions of those villains to programmatic success. The most fortunate and effective program managers will square off against a persistent arch enemy who is strong enough to be a challenge-and flawed enough to be beaten.
