The Way to Get Things Done, Say Charles Schwab

The way to get things done, say Schwab, is to stimulate competition. Without a challenge, Theodore Roosevelt would never have been President of the United States. The principal let Charles Schwab say it in his own words. He asked us how many heats we made and we told him six. He chalked it down on the floor. When the day shift reported for work the next morning, they saw a big seven. So the night shift thought they were better than the day shift. Today, well, they'd show the night shift a thing or two.
