Only two things grow for the sake of growth: businesses and tumors.

I believe no one can afford, endure or can stomach leaving half a life in the parking lot when she or he goes to work. It's a lousy way to live and a lousy way to work.

If you look at any kind of modern organization and you think, 'What are the foremost tools of power?' You will find that it is information.

The era of using people as production tools is coming to an end. Participation is infinitely more complex to practice than conventional corporate unilateralism, just as democracy is much more cumbersome than dictatorship. But there will be few companies that can afford to ignore either of them.

Growth and profit are a product of how people work together.

Forget socialism, capitalism, just-in-time deliveries, salary surveys, and the rest ... concentrate on building organizations that accomplish that most difficult of all challenges: to make people look forward to coming to work in the morning.

Large, centralized organizations foster alienation like stagnant ponds breed algae.
