Success always obsoletes the very behavior that achieved it.

The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.

The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant.

We no longer even understand the question whether change is by itself good or bad, ...We start out with the axiom that it is the norm. We do not see change as altering the order... We see change as being order itself - indeed the only order we can comprehend today is a dynamic, a moving, a changing one.

Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.

People who need certainty are unlikely to make good entrepreneurs.

Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths.
