‘Organizations must provide growth opportunities for their people, new shells for them to expand into.’

‘Becoming something new means letting go of something old.’

‘To create a new reality, we must introduce new thoughts and new practices to reinforce those new thoughts.’

‘Progress and change only happen when we accept failure and we bounce back up after we fall.’

‘By reframing our approach to mistakes, we can fail our way to success.’

‘… we are made to evolve, we are made to move.’

‘The more we expose ourselves to making mistakes in the pursuit of progress, the more opportunity we give ourselves to learn.’

‘Be patient with your transformation efforts; they take time, it is a ripple not a splash.’

‘When you have a vision, you become aware of all kinds of opportunities and serendipities that you may otherwise have overlooked.’

‘When we understand there is a positive with every negative, when we inevitably encounter a negative, we know it is temporary and a positive experience is on the way.’

‘All crises, wars, pandemics, economic downturns are just negatives in a dynamic process, there is a positive on the way.’

‘When we realise the negative experience is a rite of passage on our journey toward success, we see the obstacles as milestones, not millstones.’

‘Successful project managers see their primary role as leading the project from living order to geometric order.’

‘The objective of the manager should be to become a practitioner by learning from practice and not by learning about practice.’

‘In a dynamic environment, formulation of objectives must be bound up with action in an interactive and continous process.’

‘To be successful in practicing responsive agility, a project manager must operate within an organizational culture that acknowledges the unavoidability of unexpected events.’

‘Managers who maintain a stationary position may be forced to make complex judgments with incomplete or misleading information.’

‘In order to prevent a major disruption, the project manager must be willing to initiate a change rather than simply respond to events.’

‘Managers in successful projects feel a total personal accountability for results.’

‘Taking initiative while consistently challenging the status quo is one of the key ingredients in developing leadership competence.’

‘Step away from your work for a moment to better understand it, learn from it, and then share what you learned with others.’

‘A world dominated by living order requires moving from a one-size-fits-all paradigm to tailoring the decisions to the context of the specific situation.‘

‘Successful project managers have a hedgehog’s focus on results and fox’s resourcefulness when challenging the status quo is necessary.’
