James C. Collins quotes about
morning spring commitment
The kind of commitment I find among the best performers across virtually every field is a single-minded passion for what they do, an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think and the way they work. Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning, and through your day with a spring in your step.

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.
dream feelings sticks
A dream is a feeling that sticks - and propels.
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.
discipline people
You absolutely must have the discipline not to hire until you find the right people.
