Good to Great (Jim Collins)

1) Get the right people on the bus.

2) Confront the brutal facts.

3) Simplicity and Focus.

4) Culture of Discipline.

5) Turning the Flywheel.

6) Use technology as an accelerator.  

Good to Great (Jim Collins)

 1) Get the right people on the bus.

Great Vision without  Great People is irrelevant.

Get the right people on the bus and also in the right seats.

Great people on the bus find the Vision.

Good is the enemy of great.
