Gary Hamel
Strategy is, above all else, the search for above average returns.
Gary Hamel
The single biggest reason companies fail is they overinvest in what is, as opposed to what might be.
Gary Hamel

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.
Gary Hamel
