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

If work is just going in every day and getting a check, it's an ugly life. When you can make work a meaningful purpose, you've hit the jackpot for people.

Your goal, in other words, should be to make your bosses smarter, your team more effective, and the whole company more competitive because of your energy, creativity, and insights.

Trust happens when leaders are transparent.

You measure your people and you take action on those that don't measure up.

If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.

Most organizations fail in driving change.
