Don't take a job because your mother wants you to. Don't be a victim. You own your decision.

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

In difficult times your best must be hugged, loved, kissed, rewarded, paid - everything. And your worst must be the people that leave, because your best are going to take you to the next game.

Globalization has taken a hit in that there is some sand in the gears because most of us have supply chains that are all over the world that we've had to lengthen.

As a leader, you have no right to have any employee wonder how they fit in and where they are going.

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.

If you want risk taking, set an example yourself and reward and praise those that do.
