HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?

Management is all about managing in the short term, while developing the plans for the long term.

The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important - and then get out of their way while they do it.

Cash is king. Get every drop of cash you can get and hold onto it.

Nothing is worse than the person in their 40s who says, 'I'm not going to learn this.' 'I don't carry an iPad.' That will label you and put you right in the corner. Some people do it as a badge of honor. I've seen them myself, they walk around bragging [about not knowing much about technology].

You hang around with good people, you play a lot of golf, and you have a pretty good life. That's what success is all about. It's getting people you like, who want to take the hill with you, who want to win, who have the passion. This is not rocket science.

The last thing you want to do is be a bore. When you wake up in the morning, give yourself a good mirror test. If you look like you’re going to be a sulking, pouting bore, slap yourself in the face before you go out to the office.
