Not One Of The Good-to-great Companies Focused

Change Your Practices Without Abandoning Your Core Values.

Profit Is Like Oxygen, Food, Water, And Blood For The Body; They Are Not The Point Of Life, But Without Them, There Is No Life.

The Most Effective Leaders Of Companies In Transition Are The Quiet, Unassuming People Whose Inner Wiring Is Such That The Worst Circumstances Bring Out Their Best. They're Unflappable, They're Ready To Die If They Have To. But You Can Trust That, When Bad Things Are Happening, They Will Become Clearheaded And Focused.

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.

Leaders Who Led Their Organizations Quietly And Humbly, Were Much More Effective Than Flashy, Charismatic High Profile Leaders.
