Building A High Performance Organization

“Building a high performance organization is not that much different from a high performance car. The principle is the same. You take the best material available and organize them into a systems that are designed to use energy, whatever the source, in the most efficient and elegant way available. They are not run-of-the-mill machines. They are unique and often one-of-a-kind designs created to do specific things very, very well. they’re also high maintenance in that they can’t be left to run down on their own. They need constant tuning. But they are worth the trouble because they accomplish their purpose better than anything else on the road, and make maximum use of any opportunity for performance. Not everyone needs a high performance car, and you could argue the same is true for high performance organizations, but do you want to be the business that settled for an economy model when your competitors opted for the high end?”
