You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.

Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.

Its a marathon, its not a sprint. Ten years. Fifteen years. You've got to get up everyday, with a new idea, a new spin, and you've got to bring it to work, every day

As leaders, we owe it to every employee to let them know where they stand in the organization.

Protecting underperformers always backfires.

I think every leader has an obligation - the absolute obligation - to treat everyone fairly. But they also have the obligation to treat everyone differently. Because people aren't all the same, and the last thing you ever want to do, in my opinion, is let the best in your organization be treated like the worst in your organization. It does nothing for your future.

We've only been wealthy in this country for 70 years. Who said we ought to have all this? Is it ordained?
