Table 5. Measurements for Excellence<br />
Excellence<br />
Excellence is the highest or the best quality one<br />
can achieve. According <strong>to</strong> a Hadith, the Holy<br />
Prophet was reported <strong>to</strong> have said, “Whatever<br />
you do, you must do well”. In other words, a<br />
Muslim cannot be doing anything that is not of<br />
high quality. Unfortunately, most often the qual‐<br />
ity of our work is always low. The Qur’an uses<br />
the word “al‐ihsan” <strong>to</strong> mean excellence which is<br />
higher than that required <strong>to</strong> be “just” or “fair”.<br />
Indeed, justice or fairness is the minimum stan‐<br />
dard that is required by the Qur’an. This is be‐<br />
cause Islam does not allow us <strong>to</strong> be unfair or un‐<br />
just. “To excel” means <strong>to</strong> ex<strong>to</strong>l the virtues of “al‐<br />
ihsan” which in one definition “<strong>to</strong> do something<br />
as though you see Allah, and since you cannot<br />
see Allah, know that He sees you”. Table 5 be‐<br />
low shows the measurements for ‘Excellence’.<br />

SUCCESS FACTOR OF HIGH PERFORMANCE<br />
CULTURE<br />
Success of High Performance Culture is attrib‐<br />
uted <strong>to</strong> the fact that when an organization has<br />
clearly articulated strategic intent and core val‐<br />
ues, along with disciplined people, it needs less<br />
hierarchy. When organizational members have<br />
disciplined thought, they need less bureaucracy.<br />
When they have disciplined action and strong<br />
leadership capability, they need less excessive<br />
controls. This is especially true with a reduced<br />
hierarchy within the organization of <strong>UniKL</strong>. The<br />
<strong>to</strong>p management is easily reachable by all organ‐<br />
izational members, more so in this era of im‐<br />
proved means of communication that brought<br />
about advances in Information and Communica‐<br />
tion technology.<br />
Although the organizational structure of <strong>UniKL</strong> is<br />
far from the flattened or contemporary structure<br />
commonly found in typical dynamic organiza‐<br />
tions, the structure itself creates less bureauc‐<br />
racy that requires less excessive controls. It is<br />
observed that the main fac<strong>to</strong>r contributing <strong>to</strong>‐<br />
wards the success of <strong>UniKL</strong> becoming a high per<br />
