Rosabeth Moss Kanter on Kanter’s Law

Bennett Klein — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:26:33 +0000

“Early in my career I developed what I call Kanter’s Law: Everything can look like a failure in the middle.
The first thing to do when something isn’t working well is to say we must still be the middle of whatever it is. That’s very helpful and reflects reality. I have based many a consulting engagement on almost nothing but that.”

Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Professorship at Harvard Business School, author of Confidence.

“As I write, it is nine in the morning. In the two hours since getting up, I have showered in water heated by North Sea gas, shaved using an American razor running on electricity made from British coal, eaten bread made from French wheat and spread with New Zealand butter, brewed tea using leaves grown in Sri Lanka, dressed in clothes of Indian cotton and Australian wool and read a newspaper made from Finnish wood pulp. I have consumed goods and services from dozens of countries.”
Mark Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist

Bay street condo and birch-bark canoe paddle to the sea and for dinner get me home,
Canada across your big map I’m gonna roam.”

“Do you remember what it’s like to not have so much riding on your judgment?
Do you miss simpler times, when you knew less?
I know the answer. But it doesn’t make it easier.”
