Unless strategy evaluation is performed seriously and systematically, and unless strategists are willing to act on the results, energy will be used up defending yesterday.

To make a living is no longer enough. Work also has to make a life.

People in any organization, including bureaucrats and politicians, are always attached to the obsolete; the obsolescent; the things that should have worked but didn't; the things that once were productive and no longer are.

But innovation is more than a new method. It is a new view of the universe, as one of risk rather than of chance or of certainty. It is a new view of man's role in the universe; he creates order by taking risks. And this means that innovation, rather than being an assertion of human power, is an acceptance of human responsibility.

Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.

A fundamental responsibility of leadership is make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.
