To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.

…a company does not need to be in a great industry to become a great company.

You can’t manufacture passion or ‘motivate’ people to feel passionate. You can only discover what ignites your passion and the passions of those around you.

You can’t just go off-site for two days, pull out a bunch of flip charts, do breakout discussions, and come up with a deep understanding.

…the purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline – a problem that largely goes away if you have the right people in the first place.

Avoid bureaucracy and hierarchy and instead create a culture of discipline.

Fill [your] culture with self-disciplined people who are willing to go to extreme lengths to fulfill their responsibilities.

…discipline by itself will not produce great results.

…do you have the discipline to do the right thing and, equally important, to stop doing the wrong things?

’Stop doing’ lists are more important than ‘to do’ lists.
