What business could be mature when you have economies with more than 2 billion people in India, China and Southeast Asia?

Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.

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.

Some people have better ideas than others; some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.

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.

The best way to support dreams and stretch is to set apart small ideas with big potential, then give people positive role models and the resources to turn small projects into big businesses.

Shun the incremental and go for the leap.
