Far better than a precise plan is a clear sense of direction and compelling beliefs. And that lies within you. The question is, how do you evoke it?

Particularity and separability are infirmities of the mind, not characteristics of the universe.

People are not "things" to be manipulated, labeled, boxed, bought, and sold. Above all else, they are not "human resources." They are entire human beings, containing the whole of the evolving universe, limitless until we start limiting them. We must examine the concept of leading and following with new eyes. We must examine the concept of superior and subordinate with increasing skepticism. We must examine the concept of management and labor with new beliefs. And we must examine the nature of organizations that demand such distinctions with an entirely different consciousness.

It is not making better people of others that management is about. It's about making a better person of self. Income, power, and titles have nothing to do with that.

Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.

Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities.

Community is composed of that which we don't attempt to measure, for which we keep no record and ask no recompense. Most are things we cannot measure no matter how hard we try.
