There's a simple, but oft-neglected lesson here: to sustain success, you have to be willing to abandon things that are no longer successful.
Gary Hamel
There are as many foolhardy ways to grow as there are to downsize.
Gary Hamel
The real damper on employee engagement is the soggy, cold blanket of centralized authority. In most companies, power cascades downwards from the CEO. Not only are employees disenfranchised from most policy decisions, they lack even the power to rebel against egocentric and tyrannical supervisors.
Gary Hamel
Building human-centered organizations doesn't imply a return to the paternalistic, corporate welfare practices of the 19th century. Most of us don't want to be nannied.
Gary Hamel
In the age of revolution it is not knowledge that produces new wealth, but insight - insight into opportunities for discontinuous innovation. Discovery is the journey insight is the destination. You must become your own seer.
Gary Hamel
Your organization can start tweeting, but that wont change its DNA.
Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel

Gary Hamel
Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
Gary Hamel
We've reached the end of incrementalism. Only those companies that are capable of creating industry revolutions will prosper in the new economy.
Gary Hamel
The opportunities for future growth are everywhere. Seeing the future has nothing to do with speculating about what might happen. Rather, you must understand the revolutionary potential of what is already happening.
Gary Hamel
As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating.
Gary Hamel
Trust is not simply a matter of truthfulness, or even constancy. It is also a matter of amity and goodwill. We trust those who have our best interests at heart, and mistrust those who seem deaf to our concerns.
Gary Hamel
Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.
Gary Hamel
In a world of commoditized knowledge, the returns go to the companies who can produce non-standard knowledge.
Gary Hamel
All too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.
Gary Hamel
Most companies don't have the luxury of focusing exclusively on innovation. They have to innovate while stamping out zillions of widgets or processing billions of transactions.
