If you have more than three priorities then you don't have any.

Good is the enemy of great. And that's one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great.

If we allow the celebrity rock-star model of leadership to triumph, we will see the decline of corporations and institutions of all types. The twentieth century was a century of greatness, but we face the very real prospect that the next century will see very few enduring great institutions.

The signature of mediocrity is chronic inconsistency.

...the question, Why try for greatness? would seem almost tautological. If you're doing something you care that much about, and you believe in its purpose deeply enough, then it is impossible to imagine not trying to make it great. It's just a given.

Great vision without great people is irrelevant.

The difference between a good leader and a great leader is humility.
