Quote: Innovative efforts should ne ver report to line managers charged with responsibility for ongoing operations. The new project is an infant and will remain one for the foreseeable future, and infants belong in the nursery. Executives in charge of existing businesses or products will have neither the time nor understanding for the infant project.

Quote: The day you become a leader, it becomes about them. Your job is to walk around with a can of water in one hand and a can of fertilizer in the other hand. Think of your team as seeds and try to build a garden. It's about building these people.

Quote: Answers are a finite game played within boundaries, rules, and expectations. Questions are an infinite game; they play with the boundaries, they define them. Great leaders are called by great qu estions.

Quote: Once an organization decentralizes, localized decision-making restores diversity of opinion and offers the opportunity to tap into a wide body of knowledge. But there's a problem: How do you aggregate that knowledge? Similar to the issues created by a competitive internal culture, the transfer of power away from the center toward the frontline employees often results in local knowledge not being shared throughout the organization. While the decentralized model has been extremely effective for developing local tactics, it has performed less well in the development of overall strategy.
...So how can we best harness the power of collective intelligence for our benefit? A decision market's lack of an agenda makes it nearly perfect for gathering information and providing an impartial answer, but it also reveals its biggest weakness. Someone still needs to ask the qu estions.
...Managers who understand both the power and the limitations of group decis! ion-making need not be threatened by its effectiveness. The aggregation and processing of tacit and tactical knowledge generated at the local level must still be brought together and formed into a strategic plan; the knowledge must be given an objective. For the manager seeking to exploit collective intelligence, this is his challenge.

Quote: While benchmarking works well for bringing inside the best practices of others, it often amounts to strategy by mimicry. It's not very good for devising an original "best practice" that doesn't already exist. Cross-functional teams are good at pooling existing knowledge, breaking down barriers, and finding new ways to work inside the existing game. But these same teams often shy away from more speculative data gathering, "blue sky" brainstorming and going "outside the box" to change the rules of the game itself.
