Law 2: First who than what There are times you cannot wait for somebody. You’re either on the bus or off the bus.
Lessons:
• First choose the people and then the road• Create a team, not a genius with a thousand helpers• People are not your most important asset, the right people are.• Be rigourous in this issue, act

Law 3: Face the brutal factsThere is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. Churchill
• Continuously refining the path• Create the climate for great performance
– lead with Q’s not A’s– Engage in dialogue and debate– Conduct autopsy without blame– Build red flag mechanisms
• Stockdale paradox:– retain faith that you can and will prevail in the end and at the same
time face the brutal facts of the current reality

The Fly Wheel and the Doom Loop• ‘Good-to-great’ transformations internally feel cumulative
and organic and externally as revolutionary• No killer innovation, no wonder moment, no1 1 action, no
huge programmes• Consistent building, no big breakthroughs, just like setting
a flywheel in motion• Not investing energy in “motivating the troops or
“managing” change• Competitors: the doom loop, looking for straight
breakthoughs and stretching, usually with heavy M & A activity.
