CHAPTER 14<br />

The Parthenon Principle<br />

‘‘The will to conquer is the first condition of victory.’’<br />

FERDINAND FOCH<br />

Can you identify the seven core foundational systems of your company<br />

or business? YES NO <br />

Are you committed to making small, marginal improvements in each of<br />

these seven foundational systems to enhance the overall productivity<br />

and profitability of your business? YES NO <br />

............................................................<br />

This chapter examines the Parthenon Principle, which compares<br />

the building and maintenance of your career or business to the great<br />

architectural creation of the ancient Greeks. It does so by identifying<br />

the seven core foundational systems or pillars on which your<br />

business is built. The Application Exercise at the end of this chapter<br />

is designed to lead you through the process of identifying<br />

the key actions you can take to ensure the health and stability<br />

of your organization or business.<br />
