The team with the best players usually does win - this is why you need to invest the majority of your time and energy in developing your people.

One of the ways we'll know that Work-Out has been successful is that my style of leadership will no longer be tolerated in this company.

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

If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.

The art of managing and leading comes down to a simple thing. Determining and facing reality about people, situations, products, and then acting decisively and quickly on that reality. Think how many times we have procrastinated, hoped it would get better. Most of the mistakes you've made have been through not being willing to face into it, straight in the mirror that reality you find, then taking action on it. That's all managing is, defining and acting. Not hoping, not waiting fro the next plan. Not rethinking it. Getting on with it. Doing it. Defining and doing it.

A good leader remains focused. Controlling your destination is better than being controlled by it

Without doubt, there are lots of ways to measure the pulse of a business. But if you have employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and cash flow right, you can be sure your company is healthy and on the way to winning.
