About This Quote

According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the percentage of the global workforce employed in knowledge-intensive industries has grown from 10% in 1975 to 16% in 2010. This growth is among the fastest in the world. Yet despite this unprecedented rise, we haven’t done enough to question “how we’ve always done things” and redefine effectiveness in organizations. We have become too focused on growth, yet have ignored its costs.
