2. “Unless you are prepared to give
up something valuable you will
never be able to truly change at
all, because you'll be forever in
the control of things you can't
give up.”
Andy Law
3. "Change is hard because people
overestimate the value of what
they have—and underestimate
the value of what they may gain
by giving that up.”
James Belasco and Ralph Stayer
4. “It may be hard for an egg to
turn into a bird: it would be
a jolly sight harder for it to
learn to fly while remaining
an egg. We are like eggs at
present. And you cannot go
on indefinitely being just an
ordinary, decent egg. We
must be hatched or go bad.”
C.S Lewis
5. “After living
with their
dysfunctional
behaviour for so
many years,
people become
invested in
defending their
dysfunctions
rather than
changing
them.”
Marshall Goldsmith Mojo
7. “Culture does not change because we desire to change it.
Culture changes when the organization is transformed; the
culture reflects the Realities of people working together
every day.”
Frances Hesselbein
8. “Sometimes, I think my
most important job as a
CEO is to listen for bad
news. If you don't act on it,
your people will eventually
stop bringing bad news
to your attention and that
is the beginning of the
end.”
Bill Gates
9. “Effort and courage
are not enough
without
purpose and
direction.”
John F. Kennedy
10. “If you want to be great
and successfull, choose
people who are great
and successful and walk
side by side with them”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
11. “First comes thought; then organization of that thought,
into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans
Into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your
imagination.”
Napoleon Hill
12. “Settling is no fun.
It’s a malignant
habit, a slippery
slope that
takes you to
mediocrity.
The art of
leadership is
understanding
what you can’t
compromise
on.”
Seth Goddin
13. “The reasonable man
adapts himself to the
world; the unreasonable
one persists in
trying to adapt the
world to himself.
Therefore all progress
depends on the
unreasonable man.”
George Bernard Shaw
14. “If you see a snake, just
kill it. Don't appoint a
committee on snakes.”
Henry Ross Perot

areas outside their core business strategy often stumble. On the
other hand, companies that build scale for the benefit of their
customers and shareholders more often succeed over time.”
Jamie Dimon
16. “For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked
myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am
about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days
in a row, I know I need to change something.”
Steve Jobs
17. “Not everything that is faced can be changed.
But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
James Baldwin
18. “To change who you are, change who you
think you are.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie

innovation, creativity, or
incentive for improvement.
Those who initiate change will
have a better opportunity to
manage the change that is
inevitable.”
William Pollard
20. “Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance
of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be
sufficient for tomorrow.”
William Pollard

and be very gentle with yourself.”
Julia Cameron
