Here are several verified and thoughtful quotes from **Charles Handy**, the Irish author and philosopher best known for his work on organizations and the future of work:
1. **”The companies that survive longest are the one’s that work out what they uniquely can give to the world—not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul.”**
*— From *The Hungry Spirit* (1997)*
2. **”The paradox of success is that the things and ways which got you there are seldom those things that keep you there.”**
*— Widely quoted from his talks and books, especially *The Age of Paradox* (1994)*
3. **”We are not just economic man. We are social, emotional, spiritual beings as well.”**
*— From *The Hungry Spirit* (1997)*
4. **”You have to learn to manage yourself before you can manage others.”**
*— A recurring theme in his reflections on leadership and personal development*
5. **”The future is not inevitable. We can influence it, if we know what we want it to be.”**
*— From *The Age of Unreason* (1989)*
6. **”It is one of the paradoxes of success that the things and ways which got you there are seldom those things that keep you there.”**
*— Repeated in different forms across his work, emphasizing the danger of complacency*
