Quote of the Week

 
"“The days of leading countries or companies via a one-way conversation
are over. The old system of ‘command and control’ — using carrots and sticks
to exert power over people is fast being replaced by ‘connect and collaborate"
to generate power through people.”
 
                            - Dov Seidman, author of the book “How.”
 
 Years ago, when I was in college, I used to put a "quote of the week" taped to my dorm room door. Some days, I would open the door to go out, only to come face to face with someone reading the quote. Years later, after the advent of e-mail, I began to put a quote of the week at the end of my e-mails, something I do to this day. I used to post these on my blog, and got away from it, but at times, people write me for this or that quote, (which inevitably I have trouble finding) so I began to post them again. You can reference the quotes by visiting the "quotes" label on the right column of the blog.
