Most people don't lead their own lives - they accept their lives

If the culture you have is radically different from an 'experiment and take-risk' culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make - and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you.

The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.

Managers are trained to make incremental, programmatic improvements. They aren't trained to lead large-scale change.

We learn best - and change - from hearing stories that strike a chord within us.

Leadership is different from management, but not for the reasons most people think.

Never underestimate the magnitude of the power of the forces that reinforce the status quo.
