Key Question

Chris answers the question, "if excellence is claimed to be understood by so many people, then why is true excellence so rare?"

Creating Organizational Excellence

There is so much incomplete information in the infosphere about creating organizational excellence and how growing excellence relates to leadership. There are very few truths in organizations more relevant to creating excellence than "the only excellence available to your organization is the excellence you create from your culture, at your maturity level, through your own wisdom."

Organizations spend precious resources attempting and re-attempting to turn themselves into other organizations' cultures for the purpose of emulating those cultures in the pursuit of creating excellence.

Intrinsic Stability
