The Spirit of Perfor mance<br />

291<br />

After I had said these things on the telephone to the bank’s human-resources VP,<br />

there was a long silence. Finally she said, “But that’s no different at all from what we<br />

have known for years are the requirements for being an effective manager.”<br />

Precisely!<br />

SUMMARY<br />

The purpose of organization is to enable ordinary human beings to do extraordinary<br />

things. The test of an organization’s leadership is, therefore, the spirit of performance.<br />

This requires specific practices rather than preachment or charisma. It<br />

requires, above all, the realization that integrity is the one absolute requirement of<br />

managers and leaders.
