All Companies Have A Culture, Some Companies Have Discipline, But Few Companies Have A Culture Of Discipline. When You Have Disciplined People, You Don't Need Hierarchy. When You Have Disciplined Thought, You Don't Need Bureaucracy. When You Have Disciplined Action, You Don' T Need Excessive Controls. When You Combine A Culture Of Discipline With An Ethic Of Entrepreneurship, You Get The Magical Alchemy Of Great Performance.
