With over one million copies sold world wide, "Blue Ocean Strategy" is quickly reaching "must read" status among smart business readers. Have you caught the wave?
"You have to improve what you are doing but you also have to find entirely new and better ways to do it."
"You have to do something significantly smarter to get significantly better results."
PAINTING THE VISION "The lateral leader invests in painting a picture of where the organization is headed. There is plenty of hype talked about 'vision', and it is easy to become skeptical about it, but a vision is important..."
"Vision statements should be short and inspiring. They should avoid vague and woolly cliches about outstanding customer service. The vision should not be restricted to today's type of business. It must set a goal that gives employees enormous freedom in finding ways to achieve it."
"To construct a corporate vision you need to consider four components. These are your purpose, your mission, your culture and your values. The purpose is the fundamental reason for the existence of the organization. The mission expresses the purpose as a strategic goal. The culture defines the style of the organization - how it does things. The values are the beliefs of the organization - what it stands for. These four elements underpin the vision, which is an inspiring statement of the destination of the company."
"if you can do this then there are three big gains for the organization:....1)people share a common goal, 2) it means that more responsibility can be delegated, and 3) people will be more creative and contribute more ideas if they know that there are unsolved challenges that lie ahead."
COMMUNICATING "In order to transform the organization you have to use every method of communication to keep people focused on the goals and energized in their search for innovative solutions."
"Jack Welch, CEO of GE, 'Whenever I had an idea or message I wanted to drive into the organization I could not say it enough. I repeated it over and over at every meeting and review. I always felt I had to be "over the top" to get hundreds of people behind an idea'."
"Taking everyone's best ideas and transferring them to others is the secret. there's nothing more important."
"In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skilful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." Harry S. Truman
"The conventional leader is easily recognized as a goal-oriented, decisive person who is well suited to a structured environment such as a mature corporation, government department or the military. Lateral leaders, on the other hand, adopt a different kind of approach to reaching goals - they are much more focused on the creativity and innovation of the team."
"Successful leaders combine the qualities of the conventional leader and the lateral leader."
"Today's president, CEO or managing director needs to be a disruptive influence with the imagination, vision and courage to lead the organization into new and dangerous territory. The leader must be an entrepreneurial driver who can inspire the team to boldly venture into uncharted lands. This requires conventional and lateral leadership skills."
"WHAT INNOVATIONS HAVE YOU IMPLEMENTED THAT HAD POSITIVE IMPACTS ON CUSTOMERS?"
"Just doing better what you do today is not enough"
"There is only one way out. Do something that the world has not seen before. Innovate so that you are, for a moment, unique and uniquely competitive."
"He or she focuses on developing the skills of the team in innovation, creativity, risk taking and entrepreneurial endeavor. The lateral leader manages change by initiating it."
"LATERAL THINKING = Thinking that seeks new ways of looking at a problem rather than proceeding by logical steps."
"Uncontrolled creativity without any discipline or process of innovation is at best distracting and at worst harmful to the organization. Creativity needs to be focused on the corporate goals and must serve as a funnel into the innovation process."
You’ve got to find what you love. The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
If you haven’t found it yet, Keep looking. Don’t settle.
Sometimes life is gonna hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.
“if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering I’ll be dead soon, is the most important tool to make the big choices in life. Almost everything - pride, external expectation, fear of embarrassment or failure - just falls away in the face of death, Leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
You are already naked, you have no reason not to follow your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it by living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma….have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
