The primary purpose of this article is to focus on one key principle that distinguishes great from good organizations—getting the right people on the bus and in the right seats on the bus. Leadership is more than developing annual business objectives and getting your people to buy in to those. Good to Great executives do not focus first on where to drive the bus and then get people to take it there, but rather they get the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) . . . a very simple idea to grasp, but a very difficult idea to implement.
