Getting candor right - with your reports, your peers, and your boss - is a skill that can make or break your career.

My main job was developing talent. I was a gardener providing water and other nourishment to our top 750 people. Of course, I had to pull out some weeds, too.

The main social responsibility for a company is to win.

In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations - can't have a bunch of piece - meal activities. It's got to have a vision.

We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies - in the minds of those closest to the work.
