Organizations need to change to cope with a changing environment and, in this endeavor, culture counts tremendously.

More often than not, great leaders – those who build organizations with sustained high performance – do so through cultures of partnership.

The culture of an organization flows directly form the real values and the observable behavior of the company’s leadership.

Organizations have many ‘leaders’ – that is, those in positions of formal authority with others reporting to them… power does not a leader make.

…the organization-centered leader… understands that his value is multiplied many times over because of the contributions of others.

…an outstanding leader… wants to build an enduring organization, indeed – one that will outlast him.

…the life of an organization and the company can go bankrupt, a government can fall, a civilization can crumble into barbarism, while the incompetents work on.

…if the fundamental goal of entrepreneurship is to engage in organization building under conditions of extreme uncertainty, its most vital function is learning.

All successful sales models depend on breaking down the monolithic view of organizations into the disparate people that make them up.

The Lean Startup works only if we are able to build an organization as adaptable and fast as the challenges it faces.
