“You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.” MaySufferingFatherHeavenChristPerfectCompanyLordPiecesCuttingReadyConflictGloryCrossesMarkIllCorruptionWoundsStealingPortraitsAffliction Author:Samuel Rutherford

“If you ask why start-ups outperform established enterprises when it comes to catching the next wave, the answer is that they are not conflicted. Everyone is rowing in the same direction. That is never the case in a company that has a portfolio of businesses at different stages in their maturity. So the key to winning there has to be to "zone out" the conflicts - sort of like sending quarrelling children each to their own room.” IfsChildrenDifferentNextAsksWinningAnswersRoomsCompanyCasesStageKeysConflictWaveMaturityEnterpriseZoneCatchingRowingPortfolios Author:Geoffrey Moore
“Do business managers have a commitment to anything more than the success of their company and to making money? It would be hard to say that they do.
