The best bosses understand the people working for them. That's the first component: what makes my people tick? What are they in it for?
Donny DeutschThat outgrowth of arrogance comes at a price: some people don't like is. I take responsibility for that.
Donny DeutschTo me, itโs always whatโs next and I think thatโs what drives most very successful people. Itโs never about the money. I mean thatโs a way of keeping score. Itโs about achievement and itโs about winning a game and itโs about upping the ante.
Donny DeutschIf you can't embrace both failure or the possibility of failure, or the tremendous fear of failure, you can't be wildly successful. It's just an axiomatic truth.
Donny DeutschThere are agencies who are good losers, places where losing is not only accepted, it becomes part of the culture, it is expected. That is debilitating. Don't let that happen to you. At Deutsch we go into every pitch assuming we are the Yankees. It's amazing what happens when you go into a room of smart, hungry people and say, "Failure is not an option." People are galvanized.
