The Essence of Excellence: Creating a Culture of C

What is the ‘Essence of Excellence’?Over the last 5 years we have conducted research in over 100 companies worldwide. Of these, around 40 have shown themselves to have, in their different ways, the Essence of Excellence we were looking for.So, what separates the really great from the merely good? The answer lies not in what you see or the tools people use, but in the feel, the pure essence of these organisations. It is the mind-set, the language, the confidence and the sheer passion for excellence.In this book we explore what we have learned, develop a framework for our thinking and illustrate this with examples, cases and anecdotes from those that have captured the Essence of Excellence.We hope to inspire and guide you in your own search for excellence.
