There are a lot of good companies in the
world, but the word great is taken far too
lightly.
It takes a true leader to show you exactly
how to achieve greatness, and in his book,
͞Good to Great, Jim Collins unveils what
qualities define success.
One.
Leadership.
What makes a great leader?
While there are many different types out there,
they all have one thing in common.
They are willing to get their hands dirty,
and plan for a future where they may not even
exist.
Two: The right people in the right place.
Most people pass the buck when something goes
wrong, instead of seeking solutions.
If an employee is failing in their position,
the problem isn’t necessarily that they’re
a bad fit for the bus.
They might just be in the wrong seat!
Three.
Confront facts head on.We possess an innate
reaction known as the ͞fight or flight͟
mode.
When a problem is revealed, some run as far
away from it as they can.Others put on the
gloves and tackle it with full force.
Why?
Because leaders aren’t afraid of change.
Four.
Be a hedgehog.
Not in a Sonic kind of way.
In life, you get two types of companies.
Foxes, and hedgehogs.
While foxes are clever, they’re also greedy,
sticking their fingers in too many pies.
The hedgehog shifts all of his focus to one
thing, with flawless execution!
Five.
Discipline.
Once your ͞hedgehog framework͟ is set in
stone, stick to it like glue.
And remember – your STOP DOING list is far
more important than your TO DO list!
Jim Collins has changed countless lives through
his wise words, causing vast amounts of people
to abandon their foxy personas, and embrace
the power of the hedgehog!
