In creating Good-to-Great transformations, there’s no single defining action, no grand program, no single killer innovation, no solitary lucky break, no miracle moment. Rather, it feels like turning a heavy flywheel. Pushing with great effort, you get the flywheel to inch forward. You keep pushing, and with persistent effort, you get the flywheel to complete a full turn. You don’t stop there. You keep pushing, the flywheel moves faster.
Each turn builds upon previous work as you make a series of good decisions, supremely well executed, that compound one upon another. This is how you build GREATNESS!
