Strategy Is A Pattern In A Stream

My Feeling About Executive Bonuses Is That Any Candidate For A Chief Executive Job Who Even Raises The Issue Of Bonuses Should Be Dismissed Out Of Hand.

Strategy Is A Pattern In A Stream Of Decisions

I Describe Management As Arts, Crafts And Science. It Is A Practice That Draws On Arts, Craft And Science And There Is A Lot Of Craft - Meaning Experience - There Is A Certain Amount Of Craft Meaning Insight, Creativity And Vision, And There Is The Use Of Science, Technique Or Analysis.

The Real Challenge In Crafting Strategy Lies In Detecting Subtle Discontinuities That May Undermine A Business In The Future. And For That There Is No Technique, No Program, Just A Sharp Mind In Touch With The Situation.

No Job Is More Vital To Our Society Than That Of The Manager. It Is The Manager Who Determines Whether Our Social Institutions Serve Us Well Or Whether They Squander Our Talents And Resources.
