If you invest in the process, in gradually building fitness, even if you begin well below average, you will cross the finish line with a smile. (I trained with a group for a long-distance triathlon. The coach used that phrase all the time. We all finished. What he didn’t explain was that the smile would be one part joy, one part masochistic agony. Which also sounds about right for a large organization that radically transforms.)
Continuous improvement. The aggregation of marginal gains.
