Business is among the most flexible
and adaptable of human institutions.Management techniques are constantly
evolving, responding to the fleeting challenge of opportunity or the unrelenting
pressures of competition. Business produces change ... and change drives
business to overcome obsolete conventions ...We should challenge it to be
better, support its efforts, make it more accountable, while unleashing
its immense reserves of initiative and creativity to help people and society
realize dreams.

Trust is enormously powerful in
a corporation. People won't do their best unless they believe they'll be
treated fairly. The only way I know how to create that kind of trust is
by laying out your values and then walking the talk. You've got to do what
you say you'll do, consistently, over time.

I have often wondered why the best
team efforts seem to come from groups that stage plays. Perhaps it is because
each member has an integral role that connects to an overall theme and because
of the compelling need to succeed together to please an audience.

By design and by talent we were
a team of specialists, and like a team of specialists in any field, our
performance depended both on individual excellence and on how well we worked
together. None of us had to strain to understand that we had to complement
each others’ specialties; it was simply a fact, and we all tried to figure
out ways to make our combination more effective.

In every act of rebellion, the
rebel simultaneously experiences a revulsion at the infringement of his
rights and a complete and spontaneous loyalty to certain aspects of himself
... bringing into play a standard of values he is prepared to support no
matter what the risks.
Albert Camus |

There is perfect order in nature.
No wasted effort, no needless movement, no clutter. It is in the tracks
of the sun, the progression of each day, the community of life. When actions
of people are well connected and flow easily, in natural sequence, accomplishment
follows.

“The medium, or process,
of our time - electric technology - is reshaping and restructuring patterns
of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing
us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action,
and every institution formerly taken for granted. Everything is changing
.......... you, your family, your education your neighborhood, your job,
our government, your relation to “the others.” And they’re changing dramatically.”
Marshall McLuhan |

It is one of those strange facts
of experience that when we try to think into the future our thoughts jump
backward. It may well be that nature has some fundamental law by which opening
up what we call the future also automatically opens up the past in equal
degree. Time is not linear but probably consists of wave propagations in
all directions simultaneously. Allatonceness.

Renewing the spiritual dimension
provides leadership to your life. The spiritual dimension is your core,
your center, your commitment to a value system. It is a very private area
of life and supremely important one. It draws upon the sources that inspire
and uplift you to the timeless truth of all humanity. And people do it very
differently.
Stephen Covey |

... there is a deep spiritual reason
for putting compassion at the centre of our agenda - human beings fundamentally
deserve to be cared for and cherished. Whether we see our sanctity as part
of the fundamental spiritual reality that pervades all being or see ourselves
as created in the image of God, human beings reflect that which is most
honoured and respected in the universe.
