A developing country can easily import technology. It can easily import capital. But technology and capital are simply tools. They only become effective if properly used…by competent and effective management. The creation of such a pool of managerial talent is both China's greatest need and China's greatest opportunity.

    发展中国家可以轻易引进技术，可以轻易引进资金。然而，技术和资金只不过是工具。它们只有……在能干、高效的管理人员的恰当使用下才会有效发挥作用。建立这种人才储备既是中国最大的需要，也是中国最大的机遇。

    ——彼得•德鲁克（Peter Drucker，管理学大师）

    Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

    管理就是攀爬成功阶梯的效率；领导力决定了梯子是否靠对了边。

    ——史蒂芬•科维（Stephen R. Covey，《高效人士的7个习惯》作者）

    When hiring key employees, there are only two qualities to look for: judgment and taste. Almost everything else can be bought by the yard.

    在雇用关键雇员的时候，只有两种素质要寻找：判断力和趣味。几乎所有别的东西都是可以批量买到的。

    ——约翰•加德纳（John W. Gardner，《论领导力》作者）

    The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided.

    管理的秘诀就在于区分讨厌你的人和摇摆不定的人。

    ——史丹格（Casey Stengel，纽约扬基棒球队前主教练）

    Unless you are prepared to give up something valuable you will never be able to truly change at all, because you'll be forever in the control of things you can't give up.

    除非你准备放弃某些有价值的东西，否则你根本不能真正变革，因为你永远摆脱不了你无法放弃的东西的控制。

    ——安迪•劳（Andy Law，英国企业家，《创世企业》一书作者）

    One key to successful leadership is continuous personal change. Personal change is a reflection of our inner growth and empowerment.

    成功的领导的一个关键，是持续的个人变化。个人变化是我们内在成长和力量增强的一种体现。

    ——罗伯特•奎因（Robert E. Quinn，《组织文化诊断与变革》一书作者）

    Your success in life isn't based on your ability to simply change. It is based on your ability to change faster than your competition, customers and business.

    你在生活中的成功，并不仅仅取决于你的变化能力。它取决的是你比你的竞争对手、客户和业务变化更快的能力。

    ——马克•桑布恩（Mark Sanborn，《每一天都是你的代表作：邮差弗雷德给全球企业的启示》一书作者）

    If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.

    如果你是主任，有时候要装作瞎子；如果你是仆人，有时候要装作聋子。
