Discipline Is Consistency Of Action.

It Is More Important To Know Who You Are Than Where You Are Going, For Where You Are Going Will Change As The World Around You Changes.

I've Never Found An Important Decision Made By A Great Organization That Was Made At A Point Of Unanimity. Significant Decisions Carry Risks And Inevitably Some Will Oppose It. In These Settings, The Great Legislative Leader Must Be Artful In Handling Uncomfortable Decisions, And This Requires Rigor.

If We Allow The Celebrity Rock-star Model Of Leadership To Triumph, We Will See The Decline Of Corporations And Institutions Of All Types. The Twentieth Century Was A Century Of Greatness, But We Face The Very Real Prospect That The Next Century Will See Very Few Enduring Great Institutions.

The Signature Of Mediocrity Is Chronic Inconstancy. The Signature Of Greatness Is A Disciplined And Consistent Focus On The Right Things.

Be Rigorous About Your Hr Decisions. There Is A Difference Between Rigorous And Ruthless.
