Strategy is a pattern in a stream of decisions

Everyone is against micro managing but macro managing means you're working at the big picture but don't know the details.

Corporations are social institutions. If they don't serve society, they have no business existing

Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: its starting point.

I describe management as arts, crafts and science. It is a practice that draws on arts, craft and science and there is a lot of craft - meaning experience - there is a certain amount of craft meaning insight, creativity and vision, and there is the use of science, technique or analysis.

Organizations are communities of human beings, not collections of human resources

Corporations are economic entities, to be sure, but they are also social institutions that must justify their existence by their overall contribution to society.
