    The Companies That Sound Most Confident May Be the Ones to Worry About

    Every time you listen to an earnings call, you're scanning for signs that a company knows where it's going. But what if the most confident-sounding language is actually the biggest red flag? Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren sits down with Phil LeBrun, former international CIO of McDonald's, and Dr. Jana Werner, executive advisor at AWS — co-authors of The Octopus Organization — to unpack why 70 to 90 percent of corporate transformations never deliver what they promised, what they call watermelon reporting — green on the outside, red on the inside — and the words that reveal whether a company is truly built for the future, or just really good at sounding like one.
