Life can only be understood ba...

Life can only be understood backwards but you have to live it forward. You can only do that by stepping into uncertainty and by trying, within this uncertainty, to create your own islands of security....The new security will be a belief that ...if this doesn't work out you could do something else. You are your own security.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

Forget land, buildings, or mac...

Forget land, buildings, or machines-the real source of wealth today is intelligence, applied intelligence. We talk glibly of 'intellectual property' without taking on board what it really means. It isn't just patent rights and brand names; it is the brains of the place.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

Villages are small and persona...

Villages are small and personal, and their inhabitants have names, characters, and personalities. What more appropriate concept on which to base our institutions of the future than the ancient social unit whose flexibility and strength substained human society through millenia?

Charles Handy 50 quotes

The companies that survive lon...

The companies that survive longest are the one's that work out what they uniquely can give to the world-not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

Most of us prefer to walk back...

Most of us prefer to walk backward into the future, a posture that may be uncomfortable but which at least allows us to keep on looking at familiar things as long as we can.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

I like less the story that a f...

I like less the story that a frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be killed, boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behaviour.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

We cannot wait for great visio...

We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. It is up to us to light our own small fires in the darkness.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

I believe that a lot of our st...

I believe that a lot of our striving after the symbols and levers of success is due to a basic insecurity, a need to prove ourselves. That done, grown up at last, we are free to stop pretending.

Citizenship is the chance to make a difference to the place where you belong.

Competition is healthy ... but there is more to life than winning or we should nearly all be losers

The future is not inevitable. We can influence it, if we know what we want it to be.

Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child

Talent comes with an individual name tag.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

Presidents, leaders, to be eff...

Presidents, leaders, to be effective have to represent the whole to the parts and to the world outside. They may live in the centre but they must not be the centre. To reinforce the common sense they must be a constant teacher, ever travelling, ever talking, ever listening, the chief missionary of the common cause.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

The market is a mechanism for ...

The market is a mechanism for sorting the efficient from the inefficient, it is not a substitute for responsibility.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

Why don't we teach our children in school what they are? We should say to them, 'You are unique... you have the capacity for anything. You are a marvel'.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

We learn by reflecting on what has happened. The process seldom works in reverse, although most educational processes assume that it does. We hope that we can teach people how to live before they live, or how to manage before they manage.

Learning is experience understood in tranquility.

Creativity needs a bit of untidiness. Make everything too neat and there is no room for experiment.

Charles Handy 50 quotes

To learn anything other than t...

To learn anything other than the stuff you find in books, you need to be able to experiment, to make mistakes, to accept feedback, and to try again. It doesn't matter whether you are learning to ride a bike or starting a new career, the cycle of experiment, feedback, and new experiment is always there.
