The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.

Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they’ve known since childhood……. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough minded people are the most simple.

Managers often hold on to resisters because of a specific skill set or because they've been around for a long time. Don't.

A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.

The team with the best players wins.

Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy . . . Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products.

I think the move by Mr. Greenspan was welcomed by everyone here.
