Control your own destiny or someone else will.

Get the best player because whether it's soccer or whether it's anything else the team with the best players wins. So focus your energy on getting the best and getting rid of the weakest.

The value decade is upon us. If you can't sell a top-quality product at the world's lowest price, you're going to be out of the game.

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

Keep learning; don't be arrogant by assuming that you know it all, that you have a monopoly on the truth; always assume that you can learn something from someone else.

You can't grow long-term if you can't eat short-term. Anybody can manage short. Anybody can manage long. Balancing those two things is what management is.
