One does not "manage" people. The task is to lead people.

Business has only two basic functions - marketing and innovation.

The enterprise, by definition, must be capable of producing more or better than all the resources that comprise it.

It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem - which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday.

Innovation opportunities do not come with the tempest but with the rustling of the breeze.

The most critical case in a corporation, especially a big one, is when everything goes well, when you have accomplished your objectives. When the temptation is to work twice as hard instead of saying, "We have accomplished our objectives, we have to think again."

What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it is another matter.
