Effective executives do not race. They set an easy pace but keep going steadily.

Executives, whether they like it or not, are forever bailing out the past. This is inevitable.

Yesterday’s successes, however, always linger on long beyond their productive life.

The assumption should rather be that all programs outlive their usefulness fast and should be scrapped unless proven productive and necessary.

…the effective executive will slough off an old activity before he starts on a new one.

Social organizations need to stay lean and muscular as much as biological organisms.

…as every executive has learned, nothing new is easy. It always gets into trouble.

…few organizations ever get going on their own good ideas.

Most executives have learned that what one postpones, one actually abandons.

…studies of research scientists have shown that achievement depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity.
