Only the Paranoid Survive

Sooner or later, something fundamental in your business world will change.


I'm often credited with the motto, "Only the paranoid survive." I have no
idea when I first said this, but the fact remains that, when it comes to
business, I believe in the value of paranoia. Business success contains the
seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people
want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until
there is nothing left. I believe that the prime responsibility of a manager
is to guard constantly against other people's attacks and to inculcate this
guardian attitude in the people under his or her management.
