Innovation and disruption are ideas that originated in the arena of business but which have since been applied to arenas whose values and goals are remote from the values and goals of business. People aren__ disk drives. Public schools, colleges and universities, churches, museums, and many hospitals, all of which have been subjected to disruptive innovation, have revenues and expenses and infrastructures, but they aren__ industries in the same way that manufacturers of hard-disk drives or truck engines or drygoods are industries. Journalism isn__ an industry in that sense, either.Doctors have obligations to their patients, teachers to their students, pastors to their congregations, curators to the public, and journalists to their readers--obligations that lie outside the realm of earnings, and are fundamentally different from the obligations that a business executive has to employees, partners, and investors. Historically, institutions like museums, hospitals, schools, and universities have been supported by patronage, donations made by individuals or funding from church or state. The press has generally supported itself by charging subscribers and selling advertising. (Underwriting by corporations and foundations is a funding source of more recent vintage.) Charging for admission, membership, subscriptions and, for some, earning profits are similarities these institutions have with businesses. Still, that doesn__ make them industries, which turn things into commodities and sell them for gain.

If leadership is the way forward, vision is its walking stick.

If you're not called crazy when you launch something new, it means you're not thinking BIG enough.

Any idiot can point out a problem. So, bosses do.

Diplomacy is the art of getting what you want without offending anyone too badly.

You remain a follower for life when you pay for what people do while nobody pays you for what you do. Do something impressive and become a leader!

Make project plan as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Your Potential can far exceed your expectations

Inspiring leadership communication is not about great oratory or great charisma; rather it is about getting others to believe in themselves and believe in your cause, and then achieve more than they thought was possible.

If you do still have to work for a boss at a job you don't like, as almost everyone does at some point, don't moan about it. Have a positive out __ook on life and just get on with it. Work hard and earn your pay. Enjoy the people you come into contact with through your job. And if you are still unhappy, make it instead your goal to divide your private life from your work life. Have fun in your own time, you will feel happier and you'll enjoy your life and your job more.

Entrepreneur, if you're going to start up, make sure you start up with excellence in mind

When it comes to money, ignorance is NOT bliss. What you don't know CAN hurt you.

I found a new breed of people, 'Facebook Man' - Comments on anything, but don't even have a single own Status post!!!

Don__ waste time worrying about work/life balance, or looking for your best self, sham __ecrets_ or any other snake oil being pushed by sloppy hippies who have never built a business, let alone a bankroll, or you will wake up 20 years from now poor, pissed off and primed for a midlife crisis.

The focus of gap analysis should be getting to the other side. If you bend-over to analyze a gap too long, you'll probably fall into it.

Business is Ideas only notRupees or Dollars

Leadership is an unlimited resource and as such, is a lifelong pursuit of learning. That learning must be to transform 'leader of position' to 'leadership with moral purpose'.
