There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.

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

History has been written not by the most talented but by the most motivated.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

No one has ever failed to find the facts they are looking for.

The "non-profit" institution neither supplies goods or services not controls. Its "product" is neither a pair of shoes nor an effective regulation. Its product is a changed human being. The non-profit institutions are human-change agents. Their "product" is a cured patient, a child that learns, a young man or woman grown into a self-respecting adult; a changed human life altogether.

Far too much reorganization goes on all the time. Organizitis is like a spastic colon.
