our lives change in two ways :through the people we meet and the books we read

It isn't the people you fire who make your life miserable, it's the people you don't.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

If I had to name the single characteristic shared by all truly successful individuals, I’d say it’s the ability to create and nurture a network of contacts.

Just because an employee does things differently doesn't mean he or she won't do the job right or as well. If you establish expectations of the goal and the standards to follow, then methodology shouldn't be an issue.

The employees who share innovative ideas may also be the folks who have some hidden talents that would help incorporate their suggestions.
