I believe that in any initiative, you can't have a flavor of the month. When you believe something is profound in a company, you can not be a logical leader. You have to go to the lunatic fringe. There is no way that logic is what you need to change people.

You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.

Good leaders have a generosity gene.

Someone, somewhere has a better idea.

The secret of success is changing the way you think.

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.

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