Success Tips!

  • It is the bamboo that bends in heavy winds that has another day to live. The trees that don't bend get uprooted.
  • If you want new ideas, you have to push yourself into the periphery.
  • It's a question of taking a lot of small steps: don't try to eat the elephant in one big bite.
  • Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
  • Leaders do not allow themselves to be weighed down by the difficulties of the present but are focused on the possibilities of the future. Instinct, passion, courage and confidence are the precious ingredients of managing differently. A vision of the future is critical to motivate people to become innovative.
  • If you do precisely what you're supposed to do, and you're boxed in, then you're going to do that very well. But if pressed to do things that aren't in your normal job description, the challenge can push you to a new level of achievement.
  • You have to have faith. You cannot lead if you don't believe.
  • Companies that create the future do more than satisfy customers, they constantly amaze them.
  • Business must start with the assumption that consumers don't want to apply the same amount of effort to construct all their experiences. Today, I will take whatever coffee I'm given -- but on another occasion, I might be more particular.
  • In an organisation, one unique person makes a difference, but you need teamwork to make it happen.
  • Many companies don't understand yet that outsourcing isn't about exporting jobs. It's about importing innovation.
  • Management is a lot of blocking and tackling.
  • Strategy is about stretching limited resources to fit ambitious aspirations.
