The goal of winning is not losing two times in a row.

The most radical thing we can do is connect people to one another. That starts conversations toward a vision for change.

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

Not everyone in an organization is in a position to accumulate power through competent performance because most people are just carrying out the ordinary and the expected - even if they do it very well. The extent to which a job is routinized fails to give an advantage to anyone doing it because 'success' is seen as inherent in the very establishment of the position and the organization surrounding it. Neither persons nor organizations get 'credit' for doing the mandatory or the expected.

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

The behavior of people and the culture of an organization are very different in winning streaks and losing streaks. But what both have in common is their momentum - once winners' or losers' habits and culture take hold, they tend to perpetuate themselves.

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