Great People Create Great Outcomes1. Avoid mediocrity: eliminate actions that reward/sustain less-than-great outcomes.
2. Define “greatness”: calibrate success, even in the absence of solid metrics.
3. Confront the Brutal Facts: measure outputs, rather than inputs. Assemble evidence and be accountable for sharing it.
4. Attain Level 5Level 5 Leadership: get things done within a diffuse power structure.
5. Adopt a “First Who/Then What” approach: get the right people on the bus at the outset—self-motivated; self-disciplined
6. Adapt the Hedgehog Concept: create “fit” between individuals and your organization.
7. Develop/sustain a culture of discipline: focus on ideas and actions essential for producing ongoing exceptional results.
8. Keep the flywheel turning: Use clock-building rather than time-telling to create and sustain momentum.

High Performing Organizations:Creating a Culture of Abundance• Excuses for failure are everywhere.
• I would have gotten the job done if only…• The goals/tasks were not clearly defined…• I knew what I needed to do but no one else helped get
it done…• I had/have a headache…• The dog ate my homework…
• Building an “I think we can” philosophy starts with understanding connecting points…

Sustaining Abundance…
• If every contributor gives more than he/she takes, the result is an “abundance” of resource.
• The TRUTH IS…Contributors who have their hearts and souls engaged—in addition to their minds—consistently give more than they take.
