Consolidation Over Brilliance
Effective consolidation of achievements is highlighted as crucial for long-term success. Historical examples like Napoleon’s tactical brilliance paired with his strategic consolidations illustrate the importance of building on victories to ensure lasting impact. The idea is succinctly captured in the quote, 'Consolidation isn't sexy. They usually don't build statues to great consolidators. But it seems like the ability to consolidate, reinforce, and hold your gains and make them permanent is the key to lasting success.'
