Good to Great

so over formal dinner today i had a conversation with a certain individual from a certain organization. He shared his life story, his achievements (a whole string of them), his life, his choices.

He talked about how he looked into 'competition' during the course of his MBA, how he researched, studied and actually applied it when he went back into the field again. It's about making choices and making them quick. The 1 1/2 hours felt like reading a business book, except this time it was speaking to me, and from someone who lives and believes in the precepts he preaches.

He talked about how he managed to successfully merge his passions and interests with his job; he enjoyed every single moment of the past 17 years because of this. I posed a question to him: how many people can proudly claim that some 20-30 years into their working lives?

A man, with his team, transformed the performance of the Cadillac and the Corvette.

The head of the aeronautical department of General Motors.

powerful story.
