First Who…Then WhatFirst Who…Then What
16www.exploreHR.org
The good-to-great leaders began the
transformation by first getting the right the right
people on the bus (and the wrongpeople on the bus (and the wrong
people off the bus)people off the bus) and then figured out
where to drive it
17www.exploreHR.org
The key point of
this element is
not just the idea
of getting the
right people on
the team.
18www.exploreHR.org
The key point is that "who" questions
come before before "what" decisions—
before vision, before strategy, before
organization structure, before tactics.
First First who, who, then then whatwhat — as a
rigorous discipline, consistently
applied.

Element 3:Element 3:
Confront the Brutal FactConfront the Brutal Fact
20www.exploreHR.org
All good-to-great companies began
the process finding a path to
greatness by confronting the confronting the
brutal facts of their current realitybrutal facts of their current reality
21www.exploreHR.org
A key psychology for leading from good to great is the the
Stockdale ParadoxStockdale Paradox : Retain absolute faith that you
can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the
difficulties, and at the same timeat the same time confront the most
brutal facts of your current reality,
whatever they might be.
22www.exploreHR.org
A primary task in taking a company from
good to great is to create a culture wherein
people have a tremendous opportunity
to be heard and, ultimately,
for the truth to the truth to
be heardbe heard

Element 4:Element 4:
Hedgehog ConceptHedgehog Concept
24www.exploreHR.org
The good-to-great companies are more like
hedgehogs — simple, dowdy creatures that
know "one big thing" and stick to it. The
comparison companies are more like foxes —
crafty, cunning creatures that know many things
yet lack consistency.
25www.exploreHR.org
It took four years on average for the
good-to-great companies to get a
Hedgehog Concept.
26www.exploreHR.org
You absolutely do not need to be in a
great industry to produce sustained
great results. No matter how bad the
industry, every good-to-great
company figured out how to produce
truly superior economic returns.
27www.exploreHR.org
Element 5:Element 5:
A Culture of DisciplineA Culture of Discipline
28www.exploreHR.org
The good-to-great companies
appear boring and pedestrian
looking in from the outside,
but upon closer inspection,
they're full of people who they're full of people who
display display extreme diligence extreme diligence
and a stunning intensityand a stunning intensity
29www.exploreHR.org
A culture of discipline is
not just about action. It is
about getting disciplined
people who engage in
disciplined thought and
who then take
disciplined action.
30www.exploreHR.org
A culture of discipline
involves a duality. On the
one hand, it requires
people who adhere to a adhere to a
consistent systemconsistent system;; yet, on
the other hand, it gives
people freedom and freedom and
responsibilityresponsibility within the
framework of that system.

Technology AcceleratorsTechnology Accelerators
32www.exploreHR.org
The key question about any technology is:
does the technology fit directlyfit directly with your
Hedgehog Concept? If yes, then you need
to become a pioneer in the application of pioneer in the application of
that technologythat technology. If no, then you can settle
for parity or ignore it entirely.
33www.exploreHR.org
The good-to-great companies used
technology as an accelerator of an accelerator of
momentummomentum, not a creator of it.
None of the good-to-great
companies began their
transformations with pioneering
technology, yet they all became
pioneers in the application of
technology once they grasped how
it fit with their strategies.
