More quotes by 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
Like a child star whose fame fades as the years advance, many once-innovative companies become less so as they mature.
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
All too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.
Gary Hamel
Taking risks, breaking the rules, and being a maverick have always been important but today they are more crucial than ever.
Gary Hamel

Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
Gary Hamel
In an ideal world, an individual's institutional power would be correlated perfectly with his or her value-add. In practice, this is seldom the case.
Gary Hamel
Business leaders must find ways to infuse mundane business activities with deeper, soul-stirring ideals, such as honor, truth, love, justice, and beauty.
Gary Hamel
An adaptable company is one that captures more than its fair share of new opportunities. It's always redefining its 'core business' in ways that open up new avenues for growth.
Gary Hamel
In the age of revolution you have to be able to imagine revolutionary alternatives to the status quo. If you can't, you'll be relegated to the swollen ranks of keyboard-pounding automatons.
Gary Hamel
Are we changing as fast as the world around us?
Gary Hamel
An uplifting sense of purpose is more than an impetus for individual accomplishment, it is also a necessary insurance policy against expediency and impropriety.
Gary Hamel
Organizational structures of today demand too much from a few, and not much at all from everyone else.
Gary Hamel
One way of building private foresight out of public data is looking where others aren't ... if you want to see the future, go to an industry confab and get the list of what was talked about. Then ask, What did people never talk about? That's where you're going to find opportunity.
Gary Hamel
At the heart of every faith system is a bargain: on one side there is the comfort that comes from a narrative that suggests human life has cosmic significance, and on the other a duty to yield to moral commands that can, in the moment, seem rather inconvenient.
Gary Hamel
Perseverance may be just as important as speed in the battle for the future.
Gary Hamel
The only thing that can be safely predicted is that sometime soon your organization will be challenged to change in ways for which it has no precedent.
Gary Hamel
Somewhere out there is a bullet with your company's name on it. Somewhere out there is a competitor, unborn and unknown, that will render your strategy obsolete. You can't dodge the bullet – you're going to have to shoot first. You're going to have to out-innovate the innovators.
