Strategy is not a lengthy action plan. It is the evolution of a central idea through continually changing circumstances.

A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.

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.

Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they’ve known since childhood……. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough minded people are the most simple.

You never know how diverse your career can be. I think it's wonderful. My life has always been the next page, not the last page.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

Control your destiny or somebody will.
