Don't punk out and don't quit.

As a company grows, communication becomes its biggest challenge.

The key to high-quality communication is trust, and its hard to trust somebody that you dont know.

Until you make the effort to get to know someone or something, you don’t know anything.

Business ends up being very dynamic and situational.

Nothing motivates a great employee more than a mission that's so important that it supersedes everyone's personal ambition.

In all the difficult decisions that I made through the course of running Loudcloud and Opsware, I never once felt brave. In fact, I often felt scared to death. I never lost those feelings, but after much practice, I learned to ignore them. That learning process might also be called the courage development process.
