Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

For a large corporation to be effective, it must be simple. For an organization to be simple, its people must have self-confidence and intellectual self-assurance. Insecure managers create complexity, real leaders do not clutter.

I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.

You measure your people and you take action on those that don't measure up.

No one is doing something in your business - getting a sale, having a key customer, working on an R&D project - doing anything that's more important than something you say is going to change the company.

You hang around with good people, you play a lot of golf, and you have a pretty good life. That's what success is all about. It's getting people you like, who want to take the hill with you, who want to win, who have the passion. This is not rocket science.

Some people have better ideas than others; some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.
