Abstract: The purpose of this conceptual paper is to review and propose a conceptual framework that could be used to determine the key factors that influence organizational culture of trust and discipline and sustainable organizational excellence (transition from good to great). Several papers were reviewed in order to formulate the conceptual framework. The review of past literature indicated that to enhance sustainable organizational excellence can be achieved indirectly by improving personal humility, professional will and by cultivating transformational leadership behaviour among the workforce as well as among the leadership of any organization. This means leaders with professional will and personal humility would enable them to successfully transit from good to great. This is because personal humility and professional will play an important role in cultivating the organizational culture of discipline and trust. The conceptual analysis showed that organizational culture that prevails in trust and discipline fosters sustainable organizational excellence that results organization move from a good organization to a great organization.
