You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.

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

Excellence and competitiveness aren't incompatible with honesty and integrity.

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

This shows you are never too old to get surprised.

My job is to find great ideas, exaggerate them, and spread them like hell around the business with the speed of light...And to put resources in to support them. Keep finding ideas. That's the job of just about all of our CEOs.

Strong managers who make tough decisions to cut jobs provide the only true job security in today's world. Weak managers are the problem. Weak managers destroy jobs.
