Ideas are somewhat like babies--they are born small, immature, and shapeless. They are promise rather than fulfillment. In the innovative company executives do not say, "This is a damn-fool idea." Instead they ask, "What would be needed to make this embryonic, half-baked, foolish idea into something that makes sense, that is an opportunity for us?"

Additional quotes by Peter Drucker

Hay pocas relaciones que abarquen toda la persona de un hombre como lo hace su relación con su trabajo. Según nos informa el Génesis, el trabajo no estaba en la naturaleza original del hombre. Pero se incluyó poco después: “Ganarás el pan con el sudor de tu frente” fue tanto el castigo de Dios por la caída de Adán como su don y su bendición para hacer soportable y significativa la vida del hombre en su estado posterior a la caída. Las únicas relaciones del hombre anteriores a la que tiene con su trabajo son sus relaciones con su Creador y con su familia; y sólo ellas son más fundamentales. Y junto con ellas, la relación del hombre con su trabajo constituye la base de su vida y sus realizaciones, su sociedad civil, sus artes, su historia. (página: 345)
