Talking Points: What makes great companies great
Becoming the best at something is often achieved by modeling the behaviors of winners and putting those behaviors into practice. Here are the characteristics of a high-performance company:
-
Has a purpose that focuses the energy of all its members (typically, that purpose is to be the best there is or ever was)
-
Simultaneously and continuously maximizes the self-interests of all its stakeholders
-
Outperforms all others (by any measure) not because of what propels it, but in spite of any and all obstacles that impede it
-
Makes it possible for ordinary people to perform in an extraordinary fashion
-
Transforms its people into “owners” of the organization’s destiny
-
Is a healthy organization committed to being great, no matter what it takes
-
Knows that the execution is more important than the strategy
While a strategic plan is the means, growth and high-performance are the end to those means.
