Leaders grow; they are not made.

Effective innovations start small. They are not grandiose. They try to do one specific thing.

It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem - which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday.

It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.

Management is not being brilliant. Management is being conscientious.

Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant.

An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovation, is doomed to decline and extinction.
