Quotes
Achievement
Knowledge has to
be improved, challenged, and
increased constantly, or it
vanishes.
The most
important thing in
communication
is hearing what isn't said.
Plans are only
good intentions unless they
immediately degenerate into hard
work.
Follow effective
action
with quiet reflection. From the
quiet reflection will come even more
effective action.
Leadership and
Management
Management
is doing things right;
leadership
is doing the right things.
Effectiveness is doing things right;
efficiency is doing the right things.
There is nothing so useless as doing
efficiently that which should not be
done at all.
The temptation of business is always
to feed yesterday and to starve
tomorrow.
Effective
leadership is not about making
speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by
results not
attributes.
Accept the fact that we have to
treat almost anybody as a volunteer.
We know nothing about
motivation.
All we can do is write books about
it.
Entrepreneurship
The
entrepreneur
always searches for
change,
responds to it, and
exploits it as
an
opportunity.
The purpose of a
business is to create a
customer.
The aim of
marketing is to know and
understand the customer so well the
product or service fits him and
sells
itself.
Innovation
is the specific instrument of
entrepreneurship. The act that
endows resources with a new capacity
to
create wealth.
