There is a place in the world for anyone in the world who says, "I'll take care of it."

When an employee asks why the company does things a certain way, and you can explain the logical reason, then the employee knows what she's doing is valid.

You're a lot better off being scared than being bored.

Many, perhaps most, people who lose their jobs are mistaken about the reason for which they lost their jobs. Some will say that they're failures, others that their boss had it in for them, and others yet that they were sure their career ended because of a stupid faux pas they made at the company picnic.

Anyone too busy to say thank you will get fewer and fewer chances to say it.

When you have a dream that you can't let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you're willing to do that.

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