“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more
and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and
systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost
their positions of leadership.”
Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma

“Chivalry is dead. The new code of conduct is an active strategy of disrupting the status quo to create an unsustainable
series of competitive advantages. This is not an age of defensive castles, moats and
armor. It is rather an age of cunning, speed and surprise. It may be hard for some to hang up the
chain mail of ‘sustainable advantage’ after so many battles. But hypercompetition, a state in which sustainable advantages are no longer
possible, is now the only level of competition.”

“There’s no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was
your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve
believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

“Suppose - just suppose - that the Web is a new world we’re just beginning to inhabit. We’re like the earlier European settlers in the United States, living on the
edge of the forest. We don’t know what’s there and we don’t know exactly what we need to do to find out: Do we pack mountain climbing gear, desert wear, canoes, or all three? Of course while the settlers may not have
known what the geography of the New World was going to be, they at least knew that there was a geography. The Web, on the other hand, has no
geography, no landscape. It has no distance. It has nothing natural in it. It has few rules of behavior and fewer lines of authority. Common sense doesn’t hold
here, and uncommon sense hasn’t yet emerged.” David Weinberger, Small Pieces Loosely Joined

Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the

COMPETITORS: “The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear
the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a
sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t
prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do and often it catches the expert out and
ends him on the spot.”

TALENT POOL PLUS. Seek out and work with “world’s best” as needed (it’s often
needed). “We aim to change the world, and we need gifted colleagues—who well may
not be on our payroll.”

BRASSY-BUT-GROUNDED-LEADERSHIP. Say “I don’t know”—and then unleash the TALENT.
Have a vision to be DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT—but don’t expect the co. to be around forever. Will scrap pet projects, and change course 180
degrees—and take a big write-off in the process. NO REGRETS FROM SCREW-UPS WHOSE TIME
HAS NOT-YET-COME. GREAT REGRETS AT TIME & $$$ WASTED ON “ME TOO” PRODUCTS
AND PROJECTS.

BRASSY-BUT-GROUNDED-LEADERSHIP. (Cont.) “Visionary” leaders matched by leaders with
shrewd business sense: “HOW DO WE TURN A PROFIT ON THIS GORGEOUS IDEA?”
Appreciate “market creation” as much as or more than “market share growth.” ARE
INSANELY AWARE THAT MARKET LEADERS ARE ALWAYS IN PRECARIOUS POSITIONS,
AND THAT MARKET SHARE WILL NOT PROTECT US, IN TODAY’S VOLATILE WORLD,
FROM THE NEXT KILLER IDEA AND KILLER ENTREPRENEUR. (Gates. Ellison. Venter.
McNealy. Walton. Case. Etc.)

ALLIANCE MANIACS. Don’t assume that “the best resides within.” WORK WITH A
SHIFTING ARRAY OF STATE-OF-THE-ART PARTNERS FROM ONE END OF THE “SUPPLY CHAIN” TO THE OTHER.
Including vendors and consultants and … especially … PIONEERING CUSTOMERS …
who will “pull us into the future.”

TECHNOLOGY-NETWORK FANATICS. Run the whole-damn-company, and relations with all
outsiders, on the Internet … at Internet speed. Reluctant to work with those who don’t share
this (radical) vision.

POTENTIAL MACHINES-ORGANISMS. Don’t know what’s coming next. But are ready to jump at opportunities, especially those that challenge-overturn our own “way of doing
things.”

“In an era when terrorists use satellite phones and encrypted email, US gatekeepers stand
armed against them with pencils and paperwork, and archaic computer systems that don’t
talk to each other.”Boston Globe (09.30.2001)

“Once devised in Riyadh, the tasking order took hours to get to the Navy’s six aircraft carriers—because the
Navy had failed years earlier to procure the proper communications gear that would have connected the
Navy with its Air Force counterparts. … To compensate for the lack of communications capability, the Navy was forced to fly a daily cargo mission from
the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to Riyadh in order to pick up a computer printout of the air mission tasking
order, then fly back to the carriers, run photocopy machines at full tilt, and distribute the documents to the air wing squadrons that were planning the next
strike.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War
