Good Is The Enemy Of Great.

The Kind Of Commitment I Find Among The Best Performers Across Virtually Every Field Is A Single-minded Passion For What They Do, An Unwavering Desire For Excellence In The Way They Think And The Way They Work. Genuine Confidence Is What Launches You Out Of Bed In The Morning, And Through Your Day With A Spring In Your Step.

Good Is The Enemy Of Great. And That's One Of The Key Reasons Why We Have So Little That Becomes Great.

In Determing "the Right People," The Good-to-great Companies Placed Greater Weight On Character Attributes Than On Specific Educational Background, Practical Skills, Specialized Knowledge, Or Work Experience.

Not Every Financial Company Toppled During The 2008 Crisis, And Some Seized The Opportunity To Take Advantage Of Weaker Competitors In The Midst Of The Tumult.

The Main Point Is First Get The Right People On The Bus (and Wrong People Off The Bus) Before You Figure Out Where To Drive It. The Second Key Point Is The Degree Of Sheer Rigor In People Decisions In Order To Take A Company From Good To Great.
