I try to build on our management philosophy. I try to understand what the threats and opportunities are for us. Uh, I try to make sure that we're driving innovation and creative destruction hard enough so we're not blindsided, and that our attitude is to, in starting any initiative, any business, is to focus on how we can create value for others, rather than how we maximize profit, because you can make money focusing on, "How do I maximize profit?"

In America, we are just moving the chairs around and spending huge amounts of money rather than having them go in making people's lives better.

I've always believed in the saying that "there is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit."

If you're a leader at any level and your people aren't challenging you, you've got to change that or you can't be a leader here because you're not going to be using ideas, you're not going to have innovation, you're not going to fully develop your people. And if you're working in a group and you don't challenge, then you're not really doing your job.

Innovation comes from recombining existing technology and different perspectives in innovative ways.

But it [crony capitalism] erodes our overall standard of living and stifles entrepreneurs by rewarding the politically favored rather than those who provide what consumers want.

When everyone gets something for nothing, soon no one will have anything, because no one will be producing anything.
