Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
Companies that solely focus on competition will ultimately die. Those that focus on value creation will thrive.
Edward de Bono
This new meta-system is very much in favor of the self, but a self that is based on a proper sense of dignity, not on an inflated ego. A person who dare not admit he is wrong inflates his ego but weakens his self.
Edward de Bono
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
Edward de Bono
When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined.
