I am an ardent supporter of capitalism - but I also understand that while individuals have inalienable, God-given rights, corporations do not.
Gary Hamel
Image
The real damper on employee engagement is the soggy, cold blanket of centralized authority. In most companies, power cascades downwards from the CEO. Not only are employees disenfranchised from most policy decisions, they lack even the power to rebel against egocentric and tyrannical supervisors.
Gary Hamel
Image
In a world of commoditized knowledge, the returns go to the companies who can produce non-standard knowledge.
Gary Hamel
Image
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
Image
Most companies don't have the luxury of focusing exclusively on innovation. They have to innovate while stamping out zillions of widgets or processing billions of transactions.

Great accomplishments start with great aspirations.
Gary Hamel
Image
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.

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.

The opportunities for future growth are everywhere. Seeing the future has nothing to do with speculating about what might happen. Rather, you must understand the revolutionary potential of what is already happening.
Gary Hamel
Image
An adaptable company is one that captures more than its fair share of new opportunities. It's always redefining its 'core business' in ways that open up new avenues for growth.
Gary Hamel
Image
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
Business leaders must find ways to infuse mundane business activities with deeper, soul-stirring ideals, such as honor, truth, love, justice, and beauty.
Gary Hamel
Image
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
Image
It doesn't matter much where your company sits in its industry ecosystem, nor how vertically or horizontally integrated it is - what matters is its relative 'share of customer value' in the final product or solution, and its cost of producing that value.
Gary Hamel
Image
An uplifting sense of purpose is more than an impetus for individual accomplishment, it is also a necessary insurance policy against expediency and impropriety.
Gary Hamel
Image
Most of us do more than subsist. From the vantage point of our ancestors, we live lives of almost unimaginable ease. Here again, we have innovation to thank.
Gary Hamel
Image
A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance.
Gary Hamel
Image
Innovation is the fuel for growth. When a company runs out of innovation, it runs out of growth.

You can't use an old map to see a new land.

Taking risks, breaking the rules, and being a maverick have always been important but today they are more crucial than ever.
