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
Image
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

Gary Hamel
Image
Management innovation is going to be the most enduring source of competitive advantage. There will be lots of rewards for firms in the vanguard.

Gary Hamel
Image
Strategy is, above all else, the search for above average returns.
