If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.
From Tom Peters
Excellent firms don't believe in excellence - only in constant improvement and constant change.
Statistically and emotionally, I believe that the way I can be of help to society is by doing what I know and what I've been good at.
If you really want to kill morale, have layoffs every two months for the next two years.
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
South Africa has all the tools to compete in the new global village - an eager workforce, ready to take on any challenge.
The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.
Everyone has a chance to learn, improve, and build up their skills.
Remember my mantra: distinct... or extinct.
'In Search of Excellence' - even the title - is a reminder that business isn't dry, dreary, boring, or by the numbers. Life at work can be cool - and work that's cool isn't confined to Tiger Woods, Yo-Yo Ma, or Tom Hanks. It's available to all of us and any of us.
