years. Legally and financially, yes, but not structurally and
economically.”
Peter Drucker, Business 2.0 (08.00)
“There’s going to be a fundamental change in the
global economy unlike anything we have had since

BIBO
“The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of
similar companies, employing similar people, with similar educational
backgrounds, coming up with similar
ideas, producing similar things, with
similar prices and similar quality.”
Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale, Funky Business
“Once an enterprise understands what the brand is all about, it gives direction to the whole enterprise. You know what products/services you're supposed to make and not make. You know how you're supposed to answer your telephone. You know how you're supposed to package things. It gives a set of principles to an entire enterprise.”
Shelley Lazarus, Chairman Ogilvy and Mather

afraid of him.”Harley exec, quoted in Results-based Leadership

Question: What is the primary difference between the top 20% and the middle 70%.

that can circumvent, hinder or control
the firm resolve of a determined soul
