A Dream Is A Feeling That Sticks

Not One Of The Good-to-great Companies Focused Obsessively On Growth.

The Best Ceos In Our Research Display Tremendous Ambition For Their Company Combined With The Stoic Will To Do Whatever It Takes, No Matter How Brutal (within The Bounds Of The Company's Core Values), To Make The Company Great. Yet At The Same Time They Display A Remarkable Humility About Themselves, Ascribing Much Of Their Own Success To Luck, Discipline And Preparation Rather Than Personal Genius.

Focusing Solely On What You Can Potentially Do Better Than Any Other Organization Is The Only Path To Greatness.

The X Factor Of A Great Leader Is Humility Combined With Will.

Discipline Is Consistency Of Action.
