Overview: The greatest obstacle to success – increasing productivity and profitability, generating and implementing creative solutions, training and retaining the best employees, boosting sales, and delivering quality products and extraordinary service -- is the false belief that the keys to success are knowledge- and skill-based, and can be reduced to a sure-fire strategy, a magic formula. True believers focus on rules and policies, and create rigid, stepwise processes they want employees to follow like automatons. One cannot succeed by simply imitating the strategies, operational systems or personalities of successful leaders. Their strategies may be part of their success but are not necessarily the cause of it. Fear drives people to hope for a simple, easy formula guaranteed to solve the problems. A change in the mind set, attitudes, qualities and character of the people is necessary to deliver the extraordinary and get ahead. Magic formulas, detailed plans, rigid procedures and expert knowledge, important as they are, are not enough. Of course, to maximize efficiency and profit one needs great and repeatable systems in some areas. The best set of stepwise procedures in the world is still just a blue print, just potential energy.
