The People Who Don't Have A Great

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.

Get The Right People On The Bus, The Wrong People Off The Bus, And The Right People In The Right Seats...

Those Who Build Great Companies Understand That The Ultimate Throttle On Growth For Any Great Company Is Not Markets, Or Technology, Or Competition, Or Products. It Is One Thing Above All Others: The Ability To Get And Keep Enough Of The Right People.

Those Who Turn Good Organizations Into Great Organizations Are Motivated By A Deep Creative Urge And An Inner Compulsion For Sheer Unadulterated Excellence For Its Own Sake.

Level 5 Leaders Are A Study In Duality: Modest And Willful, Humble And Fearless.
