The Brilliant Co

Excellence is the enemy of brilliance.

​

If Einstein embraced excellence in school when he was being pushed to..

​

If Edison, who never attended school was put into a disciplined schooling regime.

​

If Ford was discouraged from making an imperfect automobile.

​

If Wright brothers purely focused on making their cycle business excellent.

​

Brilliance would have been suppressed.

​

Brilliance moves the world forward.

It innovates. It ideates. It solves problems.

​

Excellence executes what brilliance first imagines.

Why Excellence Can Quietly Kill Brilliance
