More on Opportunity
“It is commonly believed that innovations create changes - but few ever do. Successful innovations exploit changes that have already happened.”
“If general perception changes from seeing the glass as 'half-full' to seeing it as 'half empty' there are major innovative opportunities.”
“Innovation opportunities do not come with the tempest but with the rustling of the breeze.”

“Genius is born-not paid”
“The effective executive knows that it is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass. She therefore makes sure she puts into the leadership position, into the standard-setting, the performance-making position the person who has the strength to do the outstanding pacesetting job. This always requires focus on the one strength of a person and dismissal of weaknesses as irrelevant unless they hamper the full deployment of the available strength.”
“People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine.”
