Without peer

Chinese character “mountain” by Zhang Zhengyu

Si-Ma (1019-1086) of the Song Dynasty said, “A gracefully executed work has no peer.”

As in calligraphy, so in business. Of the many ways to express business, here are two: By getting things done or graceful execution.

Getting things done is LensCrafters, McDonalds, and WalMart. Viable? Yes. Viral? Never.

Graceful execution is the art … the essence of business. Perfect expression of purpose. Flawless code. Brilliant design. Simple strategy.

Peerless.
