Text Quotes
Universities think people come up with great ideas by closing the door. The academic tenure process, where you have to publish to journals which are very narrow, stands in the way of great research (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Managers are already voracious consumers of theory. Every time they make a decision or take action, it’s based on some theory that leads them to believe that action will lead to the right result. The problem is, most managers aren’t aware of the theories they’re using, and they often use the wrong theories for the situation (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
If you defer investing your time and energy until you see that you need to, chances are it will already be too late. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
The iPod is a proprietary integrated product, although that is becoming quite modular. You can download your music from Amazon as easily as you can from iTunes. You also see modularity organized around the Android operating system that is growing much faster than the iPhone. So I worry that modularity will do its work on Apple. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
I love my life as a missionary, keeping myself on the front lines. The image in my mind is that God, my general, stands at the door when I go out every morning; and, knowing what the war is like, day after day he gives me his most powerful weapon: his Spirit. For this I am grateful. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Management teams aren’t good at asking questions. In business school, we train them to be good at giving answers. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalize on disruptive innovations is that their processes and their business model that make them good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the disruption. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
We need to have a better balance between a deliberate strategy and staying open. Because in the end, most of us end up being successful in a career that we never imagined we would be in at the beginning. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
If you make that decision, that you’ll always follow that rule, then your commitment to do it sinks into your heart, and when you realize the benefits of having integrity time after time, it really changes your heart, not just your head. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Because if the decisions you make about where you invest your blood, sweat, and tears are not consistent with the person you aspire to be, you’ll never become that person. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
The first two lessons, which we learned early in our efforts to be good member missionaries, have made sharing the Gospel much easier: We simply can’t predict who will or won’t be interested in the Gospel, and building a friendship is not a prerequisite to inviting people to learn about the Gospel. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
People don’t actually want to think about their own health and don’t take action until they are sick. Yet employers are very motivated to get their employees healthy, since they bear most of the burden of their health care costs. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
There is no evidence that success in business will make us happy people or allow us to have happy families. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Capitalists seem uninterested in capitalism, even as eager entrepreneurs can’t get financing. Businesses and investors sound like the Ancient Mariner, who complained, ‘Water, water everywhere - nor any drop to drink.’ (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Businesses that distribute information and news are in the business of training and teaching people. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
No idea for a new growth business ever comes fully shaped. When it emerges, it’s half-baked, and it then goes through a process of becoming fully shaped. I’ve developed tests that I’m hoping can help entrepreneurs manage that shaping process, so that the business plan that comes out the other end has a very high probability of success. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Many think of management as cutting deals and laying people off and hiring people and buying and selling companies. That’s not management; that’s dealmaking. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
To focus capital and entrepreneurship into empowering innovation, we should change is the capital gains tax rate. We would be better served by a regressive tax rate, that would become progressively smaller the longer the investment is held. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
We don’t hire ministers or priests to teach and care for us. This forces us to teach and care for each other - and in my view, this is the core of Christian living as Christ taught it. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
There are direct paths to a successful career. But there are plenty of indirect paths, too. So many young people I speak to nowadays think that the only way to get to such a career is by the direct path; but that really only makes sense in certain circumstances. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Having a loving relationship with our spouse or with our children is what leads to the long-term happiness we all seek. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Intimate, loving, and enduring relationships with our family and close friends will be among the sources of the deepest joy in our lives. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Colleges would compete by adding professors, enhancing programs, or building nicer facilities. So they competed by making institutions better. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
We have found that companies need to speak a common language because some of the suggested ways to harness disruptive innovation are seemingly counterintuitive. If companies don’t have that common language, it is hard for them to come to consensus on a counterintuitive course of action. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Growth makes management easier. In particular, it makes making labor concessions seem easy. It’s when growth stops because you’re being disrupted that managing becomes really, really hard, and as a result, most disrupted companies simply disappear. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
It is when the product is not good enough that proprietary integration gives you a competitive edge. You cannot outsource and be competitively successful in this situation. But at the other end, where standard components assembled in standard ways can yield acceptable performance, you must outsource. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Finding a ‘sacrificial lamb’ on whom to tag blame for complicated problems is an important instrument in the toolkit of politicians, because it deflects blame for the nation’s economic woes away from their own regulatory lapses, economic mismanagement and coddling to labor unions. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
Efficiency innovations arise in industries that already exist. They provide existing goods and services at much lower costs. They are not empowering. Efficiency innovators become the low cost providers within an existing framework. (Clayton Christensen Quotes)
