‘Social sector leaders pride themselves on “doing good” for the world, but to be of maximum service requires a ferocious focus on doing good only if it fits with your Hedgehog Concept. To do the most good requires saying “no” to pressures to stray, and the discipline to stop what does not fit.’

– Jim Collins, Good to Great and the Social Sectors

This year, we are re-visiting Jim Collins’ Good to Great principles that inspired this company. Although the book was written mainly about businesses, much of the principles are applicable to schools.

Principle 5

‘A culture of discipline: When the workforce is disciplined, hierarchy becomes irrelevant. When there is disciplined thought, bureaucracy is decreased. When there is disciplined control, there is no need for excessive controls. Therefore, when a culture of discipline combines with an entrepreneurial endeavor, great performance is achieved.’
