To fix the business, to bring it back to health, you must assimilate enough of the disruptive innovation to modernize the operating model without jettisoning your business model. This typically requires new leaders and definitely requires new (if temporary) rules. The CEO is the only person who can dictate the correct terms in a timely manner and maintain the enterprise's commitment to those terms for the duration of the rehabilitation effort.

Geoffrey Moore

Rules matter, and to be rules they need to be universal in form: always do this, never do that. But it is foolish to rule out in advance the possibility that an occasion might arise when normal rules just don't apply. Rules are not there to be broken, but sometimes break them we must.

Sean Hannity

All too often, a successful new business model becomes the business model for companies not creative enough to invent their own.

Gary Hamel

My mother's rules had to do with feminine deportment, so I never played hard enough to break a toy or muddy my dress. My father's rules had to do with never shaming the family by even a hint of scandal, and not providing business rivals with an opportunity to kidnap me or throw acid in my face.

Bharati Mukherjee

Once you've been around this business long enough, anything is a possibility. It's a business first and foremost. Guys play it because they love it, but it is a business, and if you don't understand that it's a business, you're lying to yourself.

Logan Mankins

Victory did not come to the one who played by the rules; it came to the one who made the rules and imposed them on his enemy.

Jack Weatherford

There are rules in advertising, and those rules are self-imposed by the client companies because they don't want their products to be seen as dishonest.

Paul Arden

Founders have continually struggled with and adapted the 'big business' tools, rules, and processes taught in business schools when startups failed to execute 'the plan,' never admitting to the entrepreneurs that no startup executes to its business plan.

Steve Blank

I conduct business, not dependent of public sentiment, but according to the rules of fair business.
