Quote: Thanks to technology and other innovations we know far more about our customers than we ever did before, but I would contend that we don't understand more about our customers than we did 40 years ago. We can put each customer's order on a microchip, but as far as having a sense of what's inside making him tick, the answers remain elusive.

Quote: Some people look for things that went wrong and try to fix them. I look for things that went right and try to build on them.

Quote: One popular reason for giving equity is "We want people thinking like owners." But think again. Most employees don't want to think like owners; otherwise, they'd be out there starting companies...We say, "think like an owner" when we mean, "be cost-conscious." And equity is supposed to do that?

Author: Tony Mayo
Quote: By analyzing our pool of great business leaders by decade, three distinct leadership patterns or archetypes emerged. We called these leadership archetypes Mold-Makers, Mold-Breakers, and Mold-Takers.

Makers essentially created or enhanced businesses that took advantage of the coalescing context of their times. They built businesses that thrived in a specific contextual framework and modified their operations and leadership styles as the contextual factors evolved. Some admittedly were in the right place at the right time, but it was often more than luck that made the difference between being merely successful and being wildly successful. In contrast, Breakers were business leaders who succeeded in breaking through the contextual mold of their times. They sought not to be constrained by the present conditions of their market; they were able to envision a future landscape for success. Finally, Takers were business leaders who saw value in industries and/or! businesses that others thought were no longer viable. Takers took advantage of industry consolidations and often breathed new life into companies; extending business value well beyond what others thought was possible.

Quote: Change is not about understanding new things or having new ideas; it's about seeing old things with new eyes -- from different perspectives. Change is not about reorganizing, reengineering, reinventing, recapitalizing. It's about reconceiving! When you reconceive something -- a thought, a situation, a corporation, a product -- you create a whole new order. Do that, and creativity will flood your mind.
