Jim Collins: “When you put these two complementary forces together — a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship — you get the magical alchemy of superior performance and sustained results.”
But, realize that you can’t jump straight to disciplined action. You have to first have disciplined people, and then disciplined thought. Then you have the foundation for disciplined action. This is the fundamental point of Good to Great.
“Disciplined action without self-disciplined people is impossible to sustain, and disciplined action without disciplined thought is a recipe for disaster.”
