James C. Collins quotes about
dream feelings sticks
A dream is a feeling that sticks - and propels.
dream passion emotion
Some managers are uncomfotable with expressing emotion about their dreams, but it's the passion and emotion that will attract and motivate others.
dream talking giving
Dreams make you click, juice you, turn you on, excite the living daylights out of you. You cannot wait to get out of bed to continue pursuing your dream. The kind of dream I'm talking about gives meaning to your life. it is the ultimate motivator.
dream morning real
No matter what. Wherever your mind wanders, it seems to turn up at the same Field of Dreams. It's the vision you wake up with in the morning, and it's the last thing you picture before you fall asleep. Everytime you think of it, the idea in your head seems to get more vivid, filled in with more detail: You not only want to win a gold medal at the Olympics, you not only can see yourself standing there on the podium, but you can also feel the goose bumps as your national anthem is played; the tears are in your eyes. (That's how real a dream can be and should be)
life-changing mean goal
You must ask, "What do we mean by great results?" Your goals don't have to be quantifiable, but they do have to be describable. Some leaders try to insist, "The only acceptable goals are measurable," but that's actually an undisciplined statement. Lots of goals-beauty, quality, life change, love-are worthy but not quantifiable. But you do have to be able to tell if you're making progress.
organization leader needs
The greatest leaders build organizations that, in the end, don't need them.
educational character skills
In determing "the right people," the good-to-great companies placed greater weight on character attributes than on specific educational background, practical skills, specialized knowledge, or work experience.
tasks lists existential
Start a 'Stop Doing' list. I'll leave it as an existential dilemma on whether to put that task on your To Do list
fashion commitment organization
Our findings do not represent a quick fix, or the next fashion statement in a long string of management fads, or the next buzzword of the day, or a new 'program' to introduce. No! The only way to make any company visionary is through a long-term commitment to an eternal process of building the organization to preserve the core and stimulate progress.
people way achieve
The only way to deliver to the people who are achieving is to not burden them with the people who are not achieving.
passion people ignite
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.
hands giving leader
Recruit entrepreneurial leaders and give them freedom to determine the best path to achieving their objectives. On the other hand, individuals must commit fully to the system you use and be held rigorously accountable for their objectives. You give them freedom, but freedom within a framework.
business opportunity company
A great company will have many once-in-a-liftetime opportunities.
careers people care
Don't take care of your career. Take care of your people. They will take care of your career.
