You must become an ignorant man againAnd see the sun again with an ignorant eyeAnd see it clearly in the idea of it. --Wallace Stevens/“Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction”

“IT MAY SOMEDAY BE SAID THAT THE 21ST CENTURY BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. …
“Al-Qaeda represents a new and profoundly dangerous kind of
organization—one that might be called a ‘virtual state.’ On September 11 a virtual
state proved that modern societies are vulnerable as never before.”—Time/09.09.2002

“The deadliest strength of America’s new adversaries is their very fluidity, Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld believes. Terrorist networks, unburdened by fixed borders, headquarters or conventional forces, are
free to study the way this nation responds to threats and adapt themselves to prepare for what Mr. Rumsfeld is certain will be another attack. …
“ ‘Business as usual won’t do it,’ he said. His answer is to develop swifter, more lethal ways
to fight. ‘Big institutions aren’t swift on their feet in adapting but rather ponderous and clumsy
and slow.’ ”—The New York Times/09.04.2002

“The organizations we created have become tyrants. They have taken
control, holding us fettered, creating barriers that hinder rather than help our businesses. The lines that we drew on our neat organizational diagrams have turned into walls
that no one can scale or penetrate or even peer over.” —Frank Lekanne Deprez &
René Tissen, Zero Space: Moving Beyond Organizational Limits.

“Dawn Meyerreicks, CTO of the Defense Intelligence Systems Agency, made one of the most fateful military calls of the 21st century. After 9/11 … her office
quickly leased all the available transponders covering Central Asia. The implications should change everything about U.S. military thinking in the
years ahead.
“The U.S. Air Force had kicked off its fight against the Taliban with an ineffective bombing campaign, and Washington was anguishing over whether to send in a few Army divisions. Donald Rumsfeld told Gen. Tommy Franks to
give the initiative to 250 Special Forces already on the ground. They used satellite phones, Predator surveillance drones, and GPS- and laser-based
targeting systems to make the air strikes brutally effective.
“In effect, they ‘Napsterized’ the battlefield by cutting out the middlemen (much of the military’s command and control) and working directly with the
real players. … The data came in so fast that HQ revised operating procedures to allow intelligence analysts and attack planners to work directly
together. Their favorite tool, incidentally, was instant messaging over a secure network.”—Ned Desmond/“Broadband’s New Killer App”/Business

“Our entire facility is digital. No paper, no film, no medical records. Nothing. And it’s all integrated—from
the lab to X-ray to records to physician order entry. Patients don’t have to wait for anything. The information from the physician’s office is in
registration and vice versa. The referring physician is immediately sent an email telling him his patient has
shown up. It’s wireless in-house. We have 800 notebook computers that are wireless. Physicians can walk around with a computer that’s pre-programmed. If the physician wants, we’ll go out and wire their house
so they can sit on the couch and connect to the network. They can review a chart from 100 miles away.

“If early soldiers idealized Napoleon or Patton, network-centric warriors
admire Wal*Mart, where point-of-sale-scanners share information on a near real-time basis with suppliers and also produce data that is mined to help leaders develop new strategic or tactical plans. Wal*Mart is an example of translating information into
competitive advantage.”—Tom Stewart, Business 2.0

“Mr. Foster and his McKinsey colleagues collected detailed
performance data stretching back 40 years for 1,000 U.S. companies. They
found that none of the long-term survivors managed to outperform the market. Worse, the longer companies had been in the database, the worse
they did.”—Financial Times/11.28.2002

“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

“When asked to name just one big merger that had lived up to expectations, Leon

TP on Acquisitions
1. Big + Big = Disaster. (Statistically.) (There are exceptions; e.g., Citigroup.)2. Big (GE, Cisco, Omnicon) acquires small/specialist = Good … if you can retain Top Talent.3. Odds on achieving “projected synergies” among Mixed Big “cultures”: 10%.4. Max Scale Advantages are achieved at a smaller size than imagined.5. Attacked by Big, Mediocre Medium marries Mediocre Medium to “bulk up.” Result: Big Mediocrity … or worse.6. Any size—if Great & Focused—can win, locally or globally.7. Increasingly, Alliances deliver more value than mergers —and clearly abet flexibility.

Lessons from the Bees!
“Since merger mania is now the rage, what lessons can the bees teach us? A simple one: Merging is not in
nature. [Nature’s] process is the exact opposite: one of growth, fragmentation and dispersal. There is no
megalomania, no merging for merging’s sake. The point is that unlike corporations, which just get bigger, bee colonies know when the time has come to split up into
smaller colonies which can grow value faster. What the bees are telling us is that the corporate
world has got it all wrong.”David Lascelles, Co-director of The Centre for the
Study of Financial Innovation [UK]

“Ebusiness is about rebuilding the organization from the

“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

“This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to figure out a theory is to look at
what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and Nintendo (marketing the same Gameboy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror.
The thing that all these companies have in common is that they have nothing in common. They are outliers. They’re on the
fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason its so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely
because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable when you
decide to do it.” —Seth Godin, Fast Company/02.2003

“… move Home Depot beyond selling ‘goods’ to selling ‘home services.’ …
He wants to capture home improvement dollars wherever and

“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions

that their products are less important than their stories.”

“If there is nothing very special about
your work, no matter how hard you apply yourself, you won’t get noticed, and that
increasingly means you won’t get paid much either.”

“What strategic motto will dominate this transition from nation-state to market-state? If the slogan that animated the
liberal, parliamentary nation-states was ‘make the world safe for democracy,’ what
will the forthcoming motto be? Perhaps ‘making the world available,’ which is to say creating new worlds of choice and protecting the autonomy of persons to
choose.” —Philip Bobbitt, The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of History

“You must realize that how you invest your human capital matters as much as how you
invest your financial capital. Its rate of return determines your future options. Take a job for what it teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a potential employer asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’
you’ll ask, ‘If I invest my mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will they
appreciate? How much will my portfolio of career options grow?’ ”

Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers;
favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power
as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity.

“My wife and I went to a [kindergarten] parent-teacher conference and were informed that our budding
refrigerator artist, Christopher, would be receiving a grade of Unsatisfactory in art. We were shocked. How could any child—let alone our child—receive a poor
grade in art at such a young age? His teacher informed us that he had refused to color within the lines, which was a
state requirement for demonstrating ‘grade-level motor
skills.’ ”Jordan Ayan, AHA!

“How many artists are there in the room? Would you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE: En masse the children leapt from their seats, arms waving. Every child was an artist. SECOND
GRADE: About half the kids raised their hands, shoulder high, no higher. The hands were still. THIRD GRADE: At best, 10 kids out
of 30 would raise a hand, tentatively, self-consciously. By the time I reached SIXTH GRADE, no more than one or two kids
raised their hands, and then ever so slightly, betraying a fear of being identified by the group as a ‘closet artist.’ The point is:
Every school I visited was participating in the suppression of creative genius.”

Ye gads: “Thomas Stanley has not only found no correlation between success in school and an
ability to accumulate wealth, he’s actually found a negative correlation. ‘It seems that school-
related evaluations are poor predictors of economic success,’ Stanley concluded. What did predict success was a willingness to take risks.
Yet the success-failure standards of most schools penalized risk takers. Most educational
systems reward those who play it safe. As a result, those who do well in school find it hard to
take risks later on.”Richard Farson & Ralph Keyes, Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins

“These days, you can’t succeed as a company if you’re consumer led –
because in a world so full of so much constant change, consumers can’t
anticipate the next big thing.
Companies should be idea-led and consumer-
informed.”Doug Atkin, partner, Merkley Newman Harty

“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.”

Ways to Raise a Purple Cow
Think small. One vestige of the TV-industrial complex is a need to think
mass. If it doesn’t appeal to everyone, the thinking goes, it’s not worth it. Think of the smallest conceivable
market—and describe a product that overwhelms it with remarkability. Go
from there.Source: Seth Godin, Fast Company (02.2003)

“HAVE MBAs KILLED OFF MARKETING? Prof Rajeev Batra says: ‘What these times call for is more creative
and breakthrough reengineering of product and service benefits, but we don’t train people to think like that.’ The way marketing is
taught across business schools is far too analytical and data-driven. ‘We’ve taken away the emphasis on creativity and big ideas that characterize real marketing breakthroughs.’ In India there is an added problem: most senior marketing jobs have been traditionally dominated by MBAs. Santosh Desai, vice
president, McCann Erickson, an MBA himself, believes in India engineer-MBAs, armed with this Lego-like approach, tend to reduce marketing into neat components. ‘This reductionist
thinking runs counter to the idea that great brands must have a core, unifying idea.’ ”—Businessworld/04Nov2002/“Why Is
Marketing Not Working?”

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.”

WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK: (1) Hire slow learners (of the organizational code). (1.5) Hire people who make you
uncomfortable, even those you dislike. (2) Hire people you (probably) don’t need. (3) Use job interviews to get ideas, not
to screen candidates. (4) Encourage people to ignore and defy superiors and peers. (5) Find some happy people and get them to fight. (6) Reward success and failure, punish inaction.
(7) Decide to do something that will probably fail, then convince yourself and everyone else that success is certain. (8) Think of
some ridiculous, impractical things to do, then do them. (9) Avoid, distract, and bore customers, critics, and anyone who just wants to talk about money. (10) Don’t try to learn anything from people who seem to have solved the problems you face.
(11) Forget the past, particularly your company’s success.

Advice to Corporate Leaders: “Consider the metaphor of the windmill: You can harness raw
power but you can’t control it. … Hire artists, clowns, or other disrupters to come in and
challenge your corporate environment. … Hire a corporate anthropologist to analyze how tolerant
your organization is of deviants and other
innovators. … Once the anthropologist leaves, hire a shaman to drive out the
evil spirits of conformity. …”

“What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women
interview and make a choice of car pool partners?”
“What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters
through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s
skills?”

“Home Depot is still very much a guy’s chain. But women, according to Lowe’s
research, initiate 80 percent of all home-improvement purchase decisions,
especially the big ticket orders like kitchen cabinets, flooring and bathrooms. ‘We
focused on a customer nobody in home improvement has focused on. Don’t get me
wrong, but women are far more discriminating than men,’ says CEO Robert
Tillman, 59, a Lowe’s lifer.” —Forbes.com

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY: I am a businessperson. An analyst. A pragmatist. The enormous social good of increased women’s
power is clear to me; but it is not my bailiwick. My “game” is haranguing business leaders
about my fact-based conviction that women’s increasing power – leadership skills
and purchasing power – is the strongest and most dynamic force at work in the American
economy today. Dare I say it as a long-time Palo Alto resident … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN
THE INTERNET!

Notes to the CEO
--Women are not a “niche”; so get this out of the “Specialty Markets” group.--The competition is starting to catch on. (E.g.: Nike, Nokia, Wachovia, Ford, Harley-Davidson, Jiffy Lube, Charles Schwab, Citigroup, Aetna.)
--If you “dip your toes in the water,” what makes you think you’ll get splashy results?--Bust through the walls of the corporate silos.--Once you get her, don’t let her slip away.--Women ARE the long run!

“Advertisers pay more to reach the kid because they think that once someone hits
middle age he’s too set in his ways to be

“Marketers attempts at reaching those over 50 have
been miserably unsuccessful. No market’s motivations and needs are so poorly understood.”—Peter

“Households headed by someone 40 or older enjoy 91% ($9.7T) of
our population’s net worth. … The mature market is the dominant
market in the U.S. economy, making the majority of
expenditures in virtually every category.” —Carol Morgan & Doran Levy, Marketing to

“Focused on assessing the marketplace based on lifetime
value (LTV), marketers may dismiss the mature market as
headed to its grave. The reality is that at 60 a person in the U.S. may enjoy 20 or 30 years of life.” —Carol

“Women 65 and older spent $14.7 billion on apparel in 1999, almost as much as that spent by 25- to 34-year-

Leaders-Teachers Do Not “Transform People”!
Instead leaders-mentors-teachers (1) provide a context which is marked by (2) access to a luxuriant portfolio of meaningful opportunities (projects) which
(3) allow people to fully (and safely, mostly—caveat: “they”
don’t engage unless they’re “mad about something”) express their innate curiosity and (4) engage in a vigorous
discovery voyage (alone and in small teams, assisted by an
extensive self-constructed network) by which those people (5) go to-create places they (and their mentors-teachers-
leaders) had never dreamed existed—and then the leaders-mentors-teachers (6) applaud like hell, stage
“photo-ops,” and ring the church bells 100 times to commemorate the bravery of their
“followers’ ” explorations!

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century.
Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the
blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting
the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity,
nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth
and empowers nations.”
G. Pascal Zachary, The Global Me: New Cosmopolitans and the Competitive Edge

The Urgency Factor: LEADERS … have a distorted
sense of time. (E.g.:
Rummy thinks he asked months ago … it was the day before yesterday.)

The “Job” of Leading.

37. Leaders
LOVE “POLITICS.”

If you’re not pissing people off, you’re not making
a difference!

“It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He
talked and listened to the fourth-grade kids in Spring Valley who shined shoes the same way he talked and listened to a
bishop or a college president. He was seriously interested in who you were and what you had to say.”
Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Respect

to-moment actions.

Leaders don’t just make products and make decisions.
Leaders make meaning. – John Seeley Brown

president. But do you want to ‘do’
president?”

Individuals (would-be leaders) cannot engage in a
liberating mutual discovery process unless they are comfortable with their own skin. (“Leaders” who are not comfortable with themselves become petty
control freaks.)

47. But … Leaders
have MENTORS.
