Motivated by Pursuit of Excellence not Praise
Monday, October 27th, 2008To lead people, walk beside them.
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.  The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate.   When the best leaders work is done the people say, “We did it ourselves!”  ~ Lao-tsu
Those who turn good (organizations) into great (organizations) are motivated by a deep creative urge and an inner compulsion for sheer unadulterated excellence for its own sake. ~ Jim Collins, author of “Good to Great”
EXCELLENCE!  Pursue it…catch it… enjoy it…. repeat.  ~Kirk
