Below is the opening paragraph of Good to Great by Jim Collins. I read the book a while ago and thought this statement was so true. I just happened to be thinking of it again today and thought I would blog it.
"Good is the enemy of Great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don't have great schools principally because we have good schools. We don't have great government principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. The vast majority of companies never become great, precisely because the vast majority become quite good--and that is their main problem."
