Book Titles

When… you start with an honest and diligent effort to determine the truth of the situation, the right decisions often become self-evident.

You absolutely cannot make a series of good decisions without first confronting the brutal facts.

The moment a leader allows himself to become the primary reality people worry about, rather than reality being the primary reality, you have a recipe for mediocrity, or worse.

…less charismatic leaders often produce better long-term results than their more charismatic counterparts.

…expending energy to try to motivate people is largely a waste of time.

If you have the right people on the bus, they will be self-motivated.

What separates people… is not the presence of absence or difficulty, but how they deal with the inevitable difficulties of life.

Hedgehogs… simplify a complex world into a single organizing idea, a basic principle or concept that unifies and guides everything.

Every company would like to be the best at something, but few actually understand… what they actually have the potential to be best at and, just as important, what they cannot be the best at.

You can have competence at something but not necessarily have the potential to be the best in the world at it.
