Good to Great

Level 5 Leadership
Greatness is not a function of circumstance greatness
it turns out is largely a matter of conscious choice

level five leader is humble and fearless...
personal will and personal humilty dont settle for nothing but the best and are humble people
get the right people on the bus in the right seats and the wrong people off the bus

Confront the Brutal Facts
(yet never lose faith)
You absolutely cannot make a series of good decisions without first
confronting the brutal facts

The Stockdale Paradox
Retain Faith that you will prevail in the end regardless of the difficulties
And at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your reality whatever they may be

Dont set dates on things because if they dont happen you get discouraged
when Stockdale was in the Hinoi Hilton prison camp he said the optimists died because
they got discouraged because of saying "we will be out by next christmas" never happened
so this brought them down. So confront the brutal facts and always keep faith and think that
you will get out of your problem and never run away from them confront them head on.

The Hedgehog Concept

What are you the best at in the world
What drives your economic engine
What are you deeply passionate about
Know thyself
A hedge hog conecpt is not a goal to be the best
It is an understanding of what you can be the best at

Know one big thing and stick to it

Which is more important
the goal to be the best at something or realistic understanding
of what you can and cannot be the best at

Can each group and each person have a hedgehog concept?

My Hedge hog concept is...

Be the best fighter in the world
I am passionate about fighting and love it
the rewards and the feel of fighting drive me towards my goal
knowing that i can get rewards for something i love and enjoy.
that is my hedgehog concept.
