À compter du 16 mai 2007, j'étais seul. Bien sûr, il y avait le peuple français, mais sa force collective ne s'exprime pas dans le quotidien des décisions à prendre, ou des nominations à effectuer. J'avais une équipe, des conseillers, des amis, des visiteurs du soir, mais j'étais seul à prendre et à assumer la décision finale. C'est le premier sentiment qui m'a envahi après avoir raccompagné Jacques Chirac à sa voiture et être remonté dans le bureau présidentiel qui était devenu le mien pour les cinq années à venir.

Almost all thinking is reflexive (having an unconscious “reflex” in response) versus “reflective” (taking a moment to consciously reflect on how the past may have created a preexisting mental model keeping you from considering a new and different future).

One of the most common questions entrepreneurs and small business owners ask is, “how do I create a category if I’m not a heavily funded startup, or some massively successful company? How can someone like me create a category of my own?” This reveals maybe the single greatest benefit of category design: anyone can do it, at any stage of their life.

What is a lean sensei and what exactly do they do? That is the key question at the heart of this important new book sharing the secret of lean thinking, which Dan Jones calls “the alternative business model for our age”. Jones explains that “behind all the tools for operational excellence and the different management system needed to support their use, lies a much deeper challenge: to develop the human potential of everyone to create a culture of accelerating continuous improvement to meet today’s changing circumstances. Learning is at the heart of lean.”

After having made a fortune on the stock exchange, Nicolas Darvas (1920-1977) documented his insights in the 1960 book How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market. The book recounts the author's trading experiences from the 1950s to 1960, and explains his unique system of buying and selling stocks. After many failures, Darvas developed excellent stock-selecting skills by means of his “box” system. In order to find out what stocks to buy, one must have access to information.

Category Pirates — Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon, and Nicolas Cole — see a meaningful percentage of marketers, entrepreneurs, and executives trapped in what they like to call the "Brand Cult". These are professionals who have been taught the best (i.e., the most well known) brand wins. And this is a lie. The biggest brands in the world didn’t become successful because of their brand. They became successful by creating and dominating a new and differentiated category with which their brand became synonymous. Because categories make brands. Not the other way around.
