Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I’ve worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses Picture Quote #1

(Waste = Loss): The first rule of business is to survive and the guiding principle of business economics is not the maximisation of profit, it is the avoidance of loss Picture Quote #1

Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership Picture Quote #1

Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values.

Human beings need community. If there are no communities available for constructive ends, there will be destructive, murderous communities... Only the social sector, that is, the nongovernmental, nonprofit organization, can create what we now need, communities for citizens... What the dawning 21st century needs above all is equally explosive growth of the nonprofit social sector in building communities in the newly dominant social environment, the city Picture Quote #1

Capitalism as a social order and as a creed is the expression of the belief in economic progress as leading toward the freedom and equality of the individual in a free and open society. Marxism expects this society to result from the abolition of private profit. Capitalism expects the free and equal society to result from the enthronement of private profit as supreme ruler of social behavior Picture Quote #1

Look at government programs for the past fifty years. Every single one - except warfare - achieved the exact opposite of its announced goal Picture Quote #1

Any time I have seen someone accomplishing something magnificent, they have been a monomaniac with a mission. A single-minded individual with a passion Picture Quote #1

Effective organizations put people in jobs in which they can do the most good. They place people -- and allow people to place themselves -- according to their strengths Picture Quote #1

I no longer think that learning how to manage people, especially subordinates, is the most important for executives to learn. I am teaching above all else, how to manage oneself Picture Quote #1
