You can't use an old map to see a new land.
Gary Hamel
I'm not one of those professors whose office is encased floor-to-ceiling with books. By the way, I think academics do this to intimidate their visitors.
Gary Hamel
Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
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
There are as many foolhardy ways to grow as there are to downsize.
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
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
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
In a well-functioning democracy, citizens have the option of voting their political masters out of office. Not so in most companies.
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
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
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
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
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.
