You cannot hack your way to sustained excellence

You Must Master These 5 Principles!

Systems Thinking

The mediocre obsess about results, the excellent clarify goals, then obsess about systems – factories of excellence

The Process Approach

There can be no continuous improvement without robust processes. Think of them as the assembly lines of the excellence factory. 

Reinforcing Habits

Ultimately, excellence comes down to what individuals do – habits are the levers of excellence – the most critical tools on the assembly line.

Validated Learning

Every strategy or solution is based on assumptions. Business experiments enable us to identify and validate the most critical assumptions like scientists.

Elegant Tools

The amateur uses one tool for everything. Master craftsmen know that using one specialised tool for the right job makes a world of difference.
