One part results, one part romantic mythology?
I’ve loved the idea of Skunk Works since I first heard about it. Working with a startup now, I hope to replicate a lot of this. It may not be elegant in a corporate-starched-shirt kind of way, but i hope it gets us to the stratosphere faster than the next guy.

I was rummaging through Chapters one day and made an interesting discovery. There were shelves and shelves of books on business – how to’s, leadership etc.

By contrast there was one small shelf with books on ethics. Too bad Yertle didn’t stumble upon this meager collection earlier in his quest for greatness.

Like it or not ethical, moral decision making provides a strong foundation for success – it does not weaken the drive to succeed it only serves to restate what success in all its shapes can be.

The world could use more of these kinds of successfulpeople.

Not to pick unfairly on FranklinCovey, but honestly, what would you think of a project manager who sat down and flipped open one of these?

I know what I’d think. Craaaaazy.
