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
An enterprise that is constantly exploring new horizons is likely to have a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining talent.

Gary Hamel
In a world of commoditized knowledge, the returns go to the companies who can produce non-standard knowledge.
Gary Hamel
Competition for the future is competition to create and dominate emerging opportunities-to stake out new competitive space. Creating the future is more challenging than playing catch up, in that you have to create your own roadmap.
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
Great accomplishments start with great aspirations.
Gary Hamel
There is no way to create wealth without ideas. Most new ideas are created by newcomers. So anyone who thinks the world is safe for incumbents is dead wrong.
Gary Hamel
