“Good to Great”- this book was written by Jim Collins. This is one of the best business books so far I am still reading. When I am going through pages by page I wonder if I could remember those all! But it’s just not simple.

Practical Discipline # 3: Put your best people on your biggest opportunity not your biggest problems. 

There is an important corollary to this discipline. When you decide to sell off your problems, don’t sell off your best people. This is one of those little secrets of change.

The key point is that the “who” question comes before “what” decisions- before vision, before strategy, before organization structure, before tactics. First who, then what – as a rigorous discipline, consistently applied.
