I was determined to achieve the total freedom that our history lessons taught us we were entitled to, no matter what the sacrifice.

Companies used to be able to function with autocratic bosses. We don't live in that world anymore.

I've been looking at companies that are on a positive path vs. a negative path and I've come to use the language of sports, winning streaks and losing streaks.

Even the new feminist research on sex-role socialization and sex differences has sometimes had the unfortunate consequence of creating a new set of stereotypes about what women feel and how women behave. Despite the large amount of overlap between the sexes in most research, the tendency to label and polarize and thus to exaggerate differences remains in much reporting of data, which may, for example, report the mean scores of male and female populations but not the degree of overlap.

The degree to which the opportunity to use power effectively is granted to or withheld from individuals is one operative difference between those companies which stagnate and those which innovate.

Change is like putting lipstick on a bulldog. The bulldog's appearance hasn't improved, but now it's really angry.

... people are capable of more than their organizational positions ever give them the tools or the time or the opportunity to demonstrate.
