My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.

Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Company cultures are like country cultures. Never try to change one. Try, instead, to work with what you've got.

A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge.

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.
