Life will never surrender its secrets to a yardstick.
Dee Hock
An organization's success has more to do with clarity of shared purpose, common principles and strength of belief in them than to assets, expertise, operating ability or management competence, important as they may be.
Dee Hock
The essence of community, its heart and soul, is the non-monetary exchange of value things we do and share because we care for others, and for the good of the place.
Dee Hock

Dee Hock
Never hire or promote in your own image. It is foolish to replicate your strength and idiotic to replicate your weakness.

It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.
