The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.

Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values. Knowing where one belongs can transform an ordinary person - hardworking and competent but otherwise mediocre - into an outstanding performer.

I have been saying for many years that we are using the word 'guru' only because 'charlatan' is too long to fit into a headline.

Progress is obtained only by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems. When you solve problems, all you do is guarantee a return to normalcy.

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.

Our most important education system is in the employees' own organization.

Replace your pursuit of success with the pursuit of contribution.
