Built to work ....
Jim Collins coauthor of "Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies" (HarperBusiness, 1994) wrote:
"we need to ask ourselves some tough questions: Are we committed to doing our work with unadulterated excellence, no matter how arduous the task or how long the road? Is our work likely to make a contribution that we can be proud of? Does our work provide us with a sense of purpose and meaning that goes beyond just making money?"
Collins identifies this mindset as "Built to Work".
Fortunately I find myself in that position with Winsteps.

"Whenever anything is being accomplished, I have learned, it is being done by a monomaniac with a mission."
Ben Wright was that monomaniac for Rasch measurement. He recruited a team of monomaniacs ... now each of us is striving in our own fields to "Build to Work".
