from Good to Great – Jim Collins “No matter how much you have achieved, you will always be merely good relative to what you can become. Greatness is an inherently dynamic process, not an end point. The moment you think of yourself as great, you slide toward mediocrity will already have begun. ” Social Sector, pg. 9
