It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.
From Dee Hock
An organization, no matter how well designed, is only as good as the people who live and work in it.
Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.
Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality.
Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference.
Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.
It won't do away with hierarchy totally, but the principal leader will be the person who most exemplifies the kind of organization and behavior required who is best able to create the conditions such organizations require.
Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture.
If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates', then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.
