“There is nothing quite so useless, as doing with great efficiency, something that should not be done at all.”
“A person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weakness, let alone on something one cannot do at all.”
“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship...the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
“The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”
“The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.”
