Embrace change. Envision what could be, challenge the status quo, and drive creative destruction.

Corporate welfare, I think, is a disaster for this country. It's crippling our economy. It is contributing to a permanent underclass and corrupting the business community.

Do you want to have your feelings hurt a little bit because you have some negative feedback, or do you want to continue down the disastrous track you're on and have a huge disaster? Talk about a bruised ego. It may ruin your career.

Success is one of the worst enemies of success, because success tends to breed complacency and lack of humility.

We strive to hire and retain only those who embrace our MBM® Guiding Principles, which encompass integrity, compliance, value creation, Principled Entrepreneurship, customer focus, knowledge, change, humility, respect and fulfillment.

I try to hire people who will challenge and have the humility to be challenged - people who have basically good values.

I don't believe in a plumb line. I believe in the exchange of ideas.
