"Victory awaits him who has everything in order--luck people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck."
"Everything great and small was thoroughly thought out, and the plan was splendidly executed."
"A man's luck is one who looks ahead."
"Adventure is bad planning"

Level Five Leadership
Humility - Showing modest or low estimate of one's own importance with the behaviors and actions directed toward a desired vision.
Modest or Low view of one's own importance
Paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will. Self-effacing, quiet, reserved and even shy. A level 5 executive is a highly capable individual, contributing team member, competent manager, effective leader with a paradox of personal humility and professional will. Level 5 leaders are a study of duality: modest and willful, humble and fearless. Level 5 leaders detest arrogance in any form.

The Ying and Yang of Level 5 leadership.
Good to Great
Stockade Principle - Maintain unwavering faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
Hedgehog Principle - Simplicity at it's best.
Culture of Discipline - A magical alchemy of great performance.
The good to great companies did not focus principally on what to do to become great; they focused equally on what not to do and what to stop doing. Disciplined thought and disciplined action.
Fanatic discipline of enduring principles is what it takes to build a great company.
Greatness is not a business quest but a human quest.
Eskimos never hurry. Moving slowly and steadily, avoiding excessive ice that could turn into ice in sub-zero temperature.
An institution can look strong on the outside but already be sick in the inside, dangerously on the cusp of a precipitous fall.
The good to great companies were not, by and large, in great industries, and some where in terrible industries. Greatness is not a function of circumstances. (Southwest Airlines)
Glossary
Discipline - consistent action and activity that provides mental or physical training and reject pressures that are incompatible with long-term aspiration.
Precipitous - dangerously high or steep, sudden and dramatic, suddenly and without warning.
Cusp - pointed ends where the curves meet.
Placid - not easily upset or excited. Calm, peaceful with little movement or activity.
