Gabriel Luria’s Reviews > Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't > Status Update

Great company will have plenty of great opportunities. Purpose of budgeting. Is to establish what areas align with hedgehog concept. Stop doing lists are more important than to-do lists.

Culture of discipline. Sustain results means you need a culture of discipline that aligns it self individually with the hedgehog concept. Duality requires people who adhere to a specific system but gives them freedom in the system. Isn’t always about action. Is about getting people to make action through discipline to the system. Tyrant isn’t the same as a culture of discipline. Ally with hedgehog concept.

Greatness is conscience choice and discipline

Deep understanding circles that transfer into one clear hedgehog concept. The key is knowing what you could be the best of in the world. Non bravado. It is not a goal it is an understanding. Passion is so you have a passion for that thing. That company that product. Economic or resource engine. Money, Time, and Brand. Set goals and strategies based on understanding. You don’t need to be in a great industry.

Charisma can be a benefit or a drop back. Spending time and effort to motivate people is useless. Key is to how to not demotivate people.

Confront the most brutal facts of your current reality. Honest quest for truth of the situation. Create a culture where people can be heard and for the truth to be heard. Lead with questions not answers. Engage in dialogue and debate. Conduct autopsies without blame. Build red flag systems that prevent information from being ignored. Retain absolute faith that you will emerge victorious.

First who then what. First get right people on bus. Then they decided where to drive it. Who then what. Don’t use the genius with a thousand helpers. Rigorous not ruthless as a layoff plan. When in doubt don’t hire. Limit growth based on ability to attract right people. When you know you need to make a people change don’t be afraid to move. Change people seats before throwing them off the bus.

Very good. I treating ideas include. Level 5 leaders look out a window for good things. Looking for other people to give credit to. And they look at a mirror for bad things. Excepting full responsibility. Level 4 leaders commonly do the opposite. Other interesting ideas include personal humility and professional will.

It is good so far. Very interesting concepts on the connection of will and humility to become a level 5 leader.
