More quotes by 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.
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

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
Top-down authority structures turn employees into bootlickers, breed pointless struggles for political advantage, and discourage dissent.
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
You can't build an adaptable organization without adaptable people - and individuals change only when they have to, or when they want to.
Gary Hamel
Most of us understand that innovation is enormously important. It's the only insurance against irrelevance. It's the only guarantee of long-term customer loyalty. It's the only strategy for out-performing a dismal economy.
Gary Hamel
This extraordinary arrogance that change must start at the top is a way of guaranteeing that change will not happen in most companies.
Gary Hamel
Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.
Gary Hamel
Great accomplishments start with great aspirations.
Gary Hamel
A titled leader relies heavily on positional power to get things done a natural leader is able to mobilize others without the whip of formal authority.
Gary Hamel
Perseverance may be just as important as speed in the battle for the future.
