Peter F. Drucker
"The people who work within these industries or public services know that there are basic flaws. But they are almost forced to ignore them and to concentrate instead on patching here, improving there, fighting the fire or caulking that crack. They are thus unable to take the innovation seriously, let alone to try to compete with it. They do not, as a rule, even notice it until it has grown so big as to encroach on their industry or service, by which time it has become irreversible. In the meantime, the innovators have the field to themselves."

"أهل هذه الصناعات والخدمات العامة يدركون ما فيها من عيوب جوهرية، لكنهم يكادون يُجبرون على تجاهلها والتركيز بدلاً من ذلك على ترقيع هنا، وتحسين هناك، وإخماد حريق، أو سد صدع. وهكذا، يعجزون عن أخذ الابتكار على محمل الجد، ناهيك عن محاولة منافسته. بل إنهم، في العادة، لا يلاحظونه إلا بعد أن يتضخم ليطغى على صناعتهم أو خدمتهم، وعندئذ يكون قد بلغ مرحلة اللاعودة. وفي غضون ذلك، يكون المبتكرون قد انفردوا بالساحة."

Innovation and Entrepreneurship
"The companies that refused to make hard choices, or refused to admit that anything much was happening, fared badly. If they survive, it is only because their respective governments will not let them go under."
"الشركات التي أبت اتخاذ قرارات صعبة، أو رفضت الإقرار بحدوث تغييرات جوهرية، لقيت مصيراً سيئاً. وإن بقيت، فما ذلك إلا لأن حكوماتها لن تسمح لها بالانهيار."
Peter F. Drucker

"Your first and foremost job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you."

"Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people, that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."
"القيادة ليست شخصية آسرة، فقد تكون تلك مجرد لسان معسول. وليست كسب الأصدقاء والتأثير في الناس، فتلك مداهنة. القيادة هي الارتقاء برؤية الإنسان إلى آفاق أسمى، ورفع أدائه إلى معيار أرفع، وبناء شخصيته لتتجاوز حدودها المعتادة."
