The prime occupational hazard of a manager is superficiality.

Why does every generation have to think that he lives in the period with the greatest turbulence?

A leader has to be one of two things: he either has to be a brilliant visionary himself, a truly creative strategist, in which case he can do what he likes and get away with it; or else he has to be a true empowerer who can bring out the best in others.

Management is a curious phenomenon. It is generously paid, enormously influential, and significantly devoid of common sense

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.

Never set out to be the best. It's too low a standard. Set out to be good. Do Your best.

While hard data may inform the intellect, it is largely soft data that generates wisdom.
