Be candid with everyone.

Trying to get people to face reality and see the world the way it really is is an absolutely critical aspect of leadership, in my view.

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

My job is to find great ideas, exaggerate them, and spread them like hell around the business with the speed of light...And to put resources in to support them. Keep finding ideas. That's the job of just about all of our CEOs.

No company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.

Real change agents comprise less than 10% of all business people.

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