Wartime CEO is too busy fighting the enemy to read management books written by consultants who have never managed a fruit stand.

The only thing that prepares you to run a company is running a company.

It turns out that is exactly what product strategy is all about—figuring out the right product is the innovator’s job, not the customer’s job.

Hire sales people who are really smart problem solvers, but lack courage, hunger and competitiveness, and your company will go out of business.

Every time you make the hard, correct decision you become a bit more courageous, and every time you make the easy, wrong decision you become a bit more cowardly. If you are CEO, these choices will lead to a courageous or cowardly company.

I believe in strength over lack of weakness.

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