The drive for progress doesn't wait for the external world to say "It's time to change."

The x factor of a great leader is humility combined with will.

It is more important to know who you are than where you are going, for where you are going will change as the world around you changes.

If your company disappeared, would it leave a gaping hole that could not easily be filled by any other enterprise on the planet?

Throw leaders into an extreme environment, and it will separate the stark differences between greatness and mediocrity.

"Growth!" is not a Hedgehog Concept. Rather, if you have the right Hedgehog Concept and make decisions relentlessly consistent with it, you will create such momentum that your main problem will not be how to grow, but how not to grow too fast.

The signature of mediocrity is chronic inconsistency.
