Peter Georgescu on Business and Life Strategy
“Execution without strategy is useless.”
“There’s no ability to win consistently without strong strategic ability.”
“The world around you changes all the time and you have to change with it.”
“Strategy comes from knowledge. You have to understand your environment.”
“Strategy is not born out of nothing. It’s born out of an extraordinary amount of discipline, rigorous research, and knowledge.”
“Don’t count on your laurels because you’re good at something. Stay ahead of the game.”
