Negative relationships are unpleasant but predictable.

The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade.

Every time we interact with another person at work, we have a choice to make: do we try to claim as much value as we can, or contribute value without worrying about what we receive in return?

The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed.

Dissenting opinions are useful even when they're wrong. So instead of speaking to highly agreeable audiences, target suggestions to people with a history of originality.

People tend to have one of three 'styles' of interaction. There are takers, who are always trying to serve themselves; matchers, who are always trying to get equal benefit for themselves and others; and givers, who are always trying to help people.

When you put off a task, you buy yourself time to engage in divergent thinking rather than foreclosing on one particular idea.
