We must commit to excellence in everything we do, even if we don’t like doing it or nobody will know. We must take pride in our work even while cleaning the toilet.  We should take risk to do the right thing. It might explode in our faces. It is worth dying that way than doing the wrong thing.

We have to steadily acquire newer ideas, continuously adapt them to our organizational contexts, adopt them into our thinking and apply them in our organizational behavior. Throughout this effort,  we need to build a community of trust in order to build learning organizations. We have to make people imagine great things for themselves. Inspire them to raise their bars, always. Give them hope, even after when we are dead.

It is our duty to build ideas, principles, people and process assets that last far beyond ourselves in every organization or cause we affiliate with. True leaders do that. Always let us ask “who will carry this on, if I die tonight.” Let us become such change leaders! Let us build such learning organizations!! Nothing is impossible, if we really strive for it.
