I never put myself out there as an employment agency.

Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.

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

You talk about seeing around corners as an element of success. That's what differentiates the good leader. Not many people have it. Not many people can predict that corner. That would be a characteristic of great leaders.

Great leaders love to see people grow. The day you are afraid of them being better than you is the day you fail as a leader.

No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.

The idea of let's all share the pain equally, or let's freeze salaries altogether - it's ass-backwards. It's absolutely ass-backwards.
