Embrace the 20mile march - consistent progress over time leads to greatness from "summary" of Good to Great by Jim Collins

The idea of the 20-Mile March is about consistency. It's about setting a sustainable pace and sticking to it, day in and day out. It's not about sporadic bursts of effort or trying to do too much all at once. It's about making steady progress over time. This concept is inspired by the story of Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. While his competitor, Robert Falcon Scott, pushed his team too hard on good days and too little on bad days, Amundsen followed a strict schedule. He made sure his team covered a consistent 20 miles every day, regardless of the conditions. Amundsen's approach paid off. While Scott's team perished on their return journey, Amundsen's team made it back safely. This story serves as a powerful lesson in the value of consistency and discipline. By embracing the 20-Mile March, we can avoid the pitfalls of overextending ourselves and burning out. Instead, we can make steady progress towards our goals, day by day. In the business world, this concept is just as relevant. Companies that achieve greatness do so by maintaining a consistent pace of progress. They don't get swept up in the latest trends or try to grow too quickly. Instead, they focus on hitting their targets consistently, year after year.
  1. But it is effective. It builds resilience, fosters a culture of accountability, and ultimately leads to sustainable success. By embracing the 20-Mile March, we can set ourselves up for greatness in the long run.
