Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

To arrive at the definition of the problem he must begin by finding the 'critical factor'. This is the element (or elements) in the situation that has to be changed before anything else can be changed, moved, acted upon.

If the feudal knight was the clearest embodiment of society in the early Middle Ages, and the "bourgeois" under Capitalism, the educated person will represent society in the post-capitalist society in which knowledge has become the central resource.

Knowledge applied is productivity.

People alone of all the resources can grow and develop.

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

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.
