Quotes by Michael D. Watkins (?)

“To be successful, you need to mobilize the energy of many others in your organization. If you do the right things, then your vision, your expertise, and your drive can propel you forward and serve as seed crystals.”
― Michael D. Watkins, The First 90 Days: Proven Strategies for Getting Up to Speed Faster and Smarter

“Begin with no; it's easier to say yes later. It's difficult (and damaging to your reputation) to say yes and then change your mind.”

“Aligning an organization is like preparing for a long sailing trip. First, you need to be clear on whether your destination (the mission and goals) and your route (the strategy) are the right ones. Then you can figure out which boat you need (the structure), how to outfit it (the processes), and which mix of crew members is best (the skill bases). Throughout the journey, you keep an eye out for reefs that are not on the charts.”
