People Don't Buy What You Do, They Buy Why You Do It

The essential strategic difference between the good-to-great and comparison companies lay in two fundamental distinctions. First, the good-to-great companies founded their strategies on deep understanding along three key dimensions—what we came to call the three circles. Second, the good-to-great companies translated that understanding into a simple, crystalline concept that guided all their efforts. 1. What you can be the best in the world at 2. What drives your economic engine. 3. What you are deeply passionate about.
