Сознательно или нет, лидеры выстраивают структуры, внутренние процессы и культуру так, чтобы это имело смысл для них, чтобы отвечало способу, которым они взаимодействуют с миром.

Если Конкурентная Оранжевая модель смотрит на организации как на машины, то основная метафора Плюралистической Зеленой модели — семья. Послушайте лидеров Зеленых организаций, и вы обязательно заметите, как часто это сравнение звучит в той или иной форме: сотрудники — одна семья

Двадцать лет мы играем в эту игру, гоняясь за успехом. А потом понимаем, что до вершины не добраться или что вершина — совсем не то, что нам нужно.

Янтарное «отдавать распоряжение и контролировать исполнение» превратилось в Оранжевое «предвидеть изменения и контролировать ситуацию»,

церковь, армия, школа -примеры Янтарных организаций. Живое воплощение Оранжевых — крупные международные корпорации. Выберите любой известный современный бренд, скажем, Walmart и вы, скорее всего, попадете на организацию, структура, внутренние процессы и культура которой вдохновлены Оранжевым

Современные представители Красных организаций — это уличные банды и мафия.

Тот, кто чувствует себя в Янтарной организации плохо и решает уйти, проходит через болезненный процесс отказа от старой нормы и освоения новой.

Если внутри организации существуют границы и барьеры, то от окружающего мира организацию отделяет настоящий крепостной ров.

Генеральскую форму невозможно спутать с лейтенантской или формой рядового даже издали.

Янтарных организациях изобретены, формализованы и распространены использование титулов, рангов и униформы для подкрепления идентификации

Если Красные организации — это стаи волков, то для Янтарной стадии подходит другая метафора: в хорошей организации все заведено, как в армии. Внутри жесткой иерархии должна существовать очевидная субординация, формализованные внутренние процессы и четкие правила, кто что делает.

Эпоха интернета ускорила появление новой картины мира, в которой предусмотрено распределенное управление вместо нисходящей иерархии.

Music is the message of peace, and music only brings peace.

Golf is an awkward set of bodily contortions designed to produce a graceful result.

We watch so much film, calling up pitch by pitch, count by count in order to spot tendencies. Technology is a big part of how I get ready for a game. What's funny is a lot of the NFL guys say they study the 'Madden' game; that's how they learn to read offenses and defenses.

It takes an earthquake to remind us that we walk on the crust of an unfinished planet.

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

The difference between authorized and unauthorized biographies is the difference between riding in carriage or squatting in steerage.

With the world as it now presents itself, there is something perverse, and probably dysfunctional, about a person who stays in the same house for 40 years. What about the expanding family syndrome, the school-lottery migration, the property portfolio neurosis? Have you no imagination?

You have to stick to what you love and purse that at all costs. Don't choose money first; it won't make you happy.

Perhaps it's a curse, but when you are a Lutheran, you have a sense of responsibility.

I didn't learn how to read until I was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back.

Remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives nor lives any other than this which he now loses.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

I get hit on so much it's not normal. I didn't realize so many men liked redheads.

I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.

I would dare say that most anyone in public life, if they stay in public long enough, is not treated fairly.

It's still a political statement to stand on stage as a person of color and be excellent. We still need those images to combat the narrative we're often fed - as someone innately inferior or inexorably linked with lack.

I like loud music. I like music that fills my ears. I'm just going to pull out my iPod and see what we got here. We're always interested in new bands because we have a retail store in northern California. I think it's got to be happy.

I state in my book 'Become Your Own Matchmaker,' confidence is the key to any endeavor. Women don't realize that when they do things they love and are passionate about - their confidence soars. Men are attracted to women who feel happy and decisive about life.

With almost every book I've written, my secret target audience is the young therapist. In this way, I am staying in my professorial role; I'm writing teaching stories and teaching novels.

There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.

We are finally entering an exciting time in medicine where we have the technology to custom-tailor treatment and preventive protocols just as we'd custom-tailor a suit or designer gown to one's individual body. But it all begins with you. You have to know yourself in a manner that you've probably never done before.

I remember my agent at ICM at the beginning of my career telling me that I wasn't pretty enough, that I was always going to be a quirky sidekick. And he was an ogre of a man. He should have been carrying a torch. If he was in a bar, he couldn't have come near me, and then he was deciding my fate.

As both a local resident and a parent with a CF-afflicted child, I'm thankful for companies like Canon, Chase and Outback who believe that giving back to the community is critical to their role as corporate citizens.
