Dee Hock Quotes

Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference Picture Quote #1

As I like to say, the entire collective memory of the species - that means all known and recorded information - is going to be just a few keystrokes away in a matter of years Picture Quote #1

If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny Picture Quote #1

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself - your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers Picture Quote #1

Make another list of things done for you that you loved. Do them for others, always Picture Quote #1

Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks Picture Quote #1

We are now at a point in time when the ability to receive, utilize, store, transform and transmit data - the lowest cognitive form - has expanded literally beyond comprehension. Understanding and wisdom are largely forgotten as we struggle under an avalanche of data and information Picture Quote #1

We are at that very point in time when a 400-year old age is rattling in its death bed and another is struggling to be born Picture Quote #1

The reason is still difficult to explain, but it is not complicated. That inner voice that will not be denied, once we learn to listen to it, had whispered since the beginning, Business is not what your life is about. Founding VISA and being its chief executive officer is something you must do, but it’s only preparatory Picture Quote #1

Making good judgments when one has complete data, facts, and knowledge is not leadership - it’s bookkeeping Picture Quote #1

Failure is not to be feared. It is from failure that most growth comes Picture Quote #1

Particularity and separability are infirmities of the mind, not characteristics of the universe Picture Quote #1

Life will never surrender its secrets to a yardstick Picture Quote #1

Only fools worship their tools Picture Quote #1

If you think you can’t, why think Picture Quote #1

It is far too late and things are far too bad for pessimism Picture Quote #1

Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture Picture Quote #1

Language was a huge expansion of that capacity to deal with information Picture Quote #1

An illustration I use to get people to understand it is this: I’ll ask major corporate audiences: why don’t you just take all your traditional beliefs about organizations, and apply them to the neurons in your brain? Picture Quote #1

Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it Picture Quote #1

An organization’s success has more to do with clarity of shared purpose, common principles and strength of belief in them than to assets, expertise, operating ability or management competence, important as they may be Picture Quote #1

Far better than a precise plan is a clear sense of direction and compelling beliefs. And that lies within you. The question is, how do you evoke it? Picture Quote #1

You learn nothing form your successes except to think too much of yourself. It is from failure that all growth comes, provided you can recognize it, admit it, learn from it, rise above it, and then try again Picture Quote #1

It is not making better people of others that management is about. It’s about making a better person of self. Income, power, and titles have nothing to do with that Picture Quote #1

Given the right circumstances, from no more than dreams, determination, and the liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary things Picture Quote #1

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it Picture Quote #1

Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities Picture Quote #1

Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future Picture Quote #1
