In that sense, the Christensen solution has become counterproductive; in fact, it’s become dangerous. Really, we couldn’t find any industry where this phenomenon wasn’t happening. It’s not generally a technology problem; it’s a leadership problem. Paul and I call that the inevitable truth of your industry.

Breakthroughs can also result from innovations in management. Managers, of course, are among the great rule inventors and implementers of the world.

What actually concerns me — and I hope you as well — is that in his canon of leadership books there are no women's voices, at least not in the top 11 that he relies on and that inspire him to greatness. Perhaps this explains why so few of our "Lists on Leadership" include the voices of women. So does leadership.

Clayton Christensen has long been a proponent of hiring managers with the right " schools of experience." His basic argument is that it is more effective to evaluate managers by looking at the situations they have been in than their track record of success.

Organization as machine – this imagery from our industrial past continues to cast a long shadow over the way we think about management today. Managers still assume that stability is the normal state of affairs and change is the unusual state (a point I particularly challenge in The End of Competitive Advantage ).

"Leadership" has changed when a decentralized group of people can take down a government. While management often espouses the notion that good ideas can come from everywhere, in practice there are "thinkers" who create strategies and designated "doers" who execute those strategies.
