To take full advantage of the potential in e-business, leaders must lead differently, and people must work together differently. Let's call this new way of working e-culture-the human side of the global information era, the heart and soul of the new economy.

During the Boom Years, it was so easy to lose sight of basic values. For example, there was lots of nonsense said and written about the so-called "New Economy." Some people said all economic laws have been overturned! Then all the problems developed. Corporations were heavily fined for illegalities. Many of their senior-level executives were indicted, convicted, and sent to prison.

Confidence makes you willing to try harder and attracts the kind of support from others that makes "winning" possible.

Passion for a goal doesn't guarantee success, but without it, you can't even begin.

Creativity does not derive from order but from the attempt to impose order where it does not exist, to make new connections.

A great idea is not enough.

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