Greatness Is Not A Function Of Circumstance.

The Moment You Feel The Need To Tightly Manage Someone, You've Made A Hiring Mistake. The Best People Don't Need To Be Managed. Guided, Taught, Led-yes. But Not Tightly Managed.

Don't Take Care Of Your Career. Take Care Of Your People. They Will Take Care Of Your Career.

Good-to-great Companies Set Their Goals And Strategies Based On Understanding; Comparison Companies Set Their Goals And Strategies Based On Bravado.

Whether You Prevail Or Fail Depends More On What You Do To Yourself Than On What The World Does To You.

Greatness Is Not A Function Of Circumstance. Greatness, It Turns Out, Is Largely A Matter Of Conscious Choice, And Discipline.
