Seth Godin is an author (Purple Cow, Linchpin), blogger (http://www.sethgodin.com/) and entrepreneur (Yoyodyne, Squidoo). Here is some of what he shared at Catalyst:
Most people wear a watch because the system demands that we arrive on time. There must be some standard.
Schools teach children to be obedient and fit in with others; in rows. The factory wants you to fit in so it can ignore you.
Competent is not special and is easily replaceable.
Businesses race to the bottom to be cheaper, closer, etc.
Be graceful so that when you leave a room, people hate to see you leave.
North Korea is compliant but it's not working.
It's okay to fail in a different way. Cupcake failure (trying a new recipe) is not fatal.
Apple is in the movement business, not the technology business.
Art and painting are different.
Change sometimes mean failure in the short-term.
Change is made by people who eagerly accept responsibility.
Do work that matters.
Leadership is different than management. Compliance and accountability are different.
