Leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.

The next thing to be said about what long-range planning is not, is that it does not deal with future decisions. It deals with the futurity of present decisions. Decisions exist only in the present. The question that faces the long-range planner is not what we should do tomorrow.

The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines. And in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.

A business exists because the consumer is willing to pay you his money. You run a business to satisfy the consumer. That isn't marketing. That goes way beyond marketing.

Knowledge is power, which is why people who had it in the past often tried to make a secret of it. In post-capitalism, power comes from transmitting information to make it productive, not from hiding it.

As a manager you're paid to be uncomfortable. If you're comfortable, it's a sure sign you're doing things wrong.
