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.

Leadership is an achievement of trust.

Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.
