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
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
Resilience is based on the ability to embrace the extremes -- while no becoming an extremist. ... **Most companies don't do paradox very well.** (emphasis by author) [2002] p.25f

Gary Hamel
Any company that cannot imagine the future won't be around to enjoy it.
Gary Hamel
Organizational structures of today demand too much from a few, and not much at all from everyone else.
Gary Hamel
We've reached the end of incrementalism. Only those companies that are capable of creating industry revolutions will prosper in the new economy.
Gary Hamel
Your organization can start tweeting, but that wont change its DNA.
Gary Hamel

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
There are as many foolhardy ways to grow as there are to downsize.
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
Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.
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.
