Hindsight's, Insights and Foresights... (44)
“Ignore everybody. The more original your idea is, the less good advice other people will be able to give you.” - Hugh MacLeod
“Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.” - William Shenstone
“You can be cool in conflict if you are not interested in the battle, but this can only be achieved if you have already fed the fires of your own rage.” - Amy & Arny Mindell
“The world of the 1990s and beyond will not belong to 'managers' or those who can make the numbers dance. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders - people who not only have enormous amounts of energy but who can energize those whom they lead”
Jack Welch
"Your problems don't come because you don't know how to calculate entropies or to design plates. They come because you don't know about people. Our best comes out when we have honest discussions. Our worst comes out when we behave like robots or professionals. You all have the delusion that it's your business to sell hardware. But every company of the future is going to be in the business of exquisite care - which means quick turnaround time and convenience. To deliver exquisite care, you need an organization that coordinates well and listens well. Right now, you are in an organization that has poor quality and slow delivery. You have one big mythology in your favor: Everyone believes that you Europeans are impeccable. But I know you are jerks." - Fernando Flores
“Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.” - Mark Twain
“A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.” - Stephen R. Covey
And finally...
“Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.” - Buddha

“When land is the measure of wealth, then scarcity rules. In a knowledge society we require an economics of abundance, and there is no science for that yet.” - Phil Hood
