People aren't the same. Business is, in my opinion, all about the team that fields the best players. It's not about an idea. An idea goes away. Somebody catches up with it. It's not about a widget.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

People always overestimate how complex business is. This isn't rocket science. We've chosen one of the world's simplest professions.

I might not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but I'm pretty good at getting most of the other bulbs to light up.

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.

Never miss out on an opportunity like a good recession.

Shun the incremental and go for the leap.
