James C. Collins quotes about
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.
careers people care
Don't take care of your career. Take care of your people. They will take care of your career.
discipline people
You absolutely must have the discipline not to hire until you find the right people.
people settling
The people who don't have a great life are the ones who settle for a good one.
people leader transition
The most effective leaders of companies in transition are the quiet, unassuming people whose inner wiring is such that the worst circumstances bring out their best. They're unflappable, they're ready to die if they have to. But you can trust that, when bad things are happening, they will become clearheaded and focused.
people important good-to-great
People are not your most important asset....the right people are.
ideas people personality
Consider the idea that charisma can be as much a liability as an asset. Your strength of personality can sow the seeds of problems, when people filter the brutal facts from you.
life-and-love good-life people
Most people will look back and realize they did not have a great life because it's just so easy to settle for a good life.
powerful organization people
I see the Baldrige process as a powerful set of mechanisms for disciplined people engaged in disciplined thought and taking disciplined action to create great organizations that produce exceptional results.
goal people vision
People need BHAGs - big hairy audacious goals.
people discipline needs
All companies have a culture, some companies have discipline, but few companies have a culture of discipline. When you have disciplined people, you don't need hierarchy. When you have disciplined thought, you don't need bureaucracy. When you have disciplined action, you don' t need excessive controls. When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance.
people funny-business good-to-great
Get the right people on the bus and in the right seat.
business mistake people
The moment you feel the need to tightly manage someone, you've made a hiring mistake. The best people don't need to be managed. Guided, taught, led-yes. But not tightly managed.
