The 3Ss of Winning in business are speed, simplicity, and self-confidence.

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

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

If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company, if you don't take people out and let them say, they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.

We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies-in the minds of those closest to the work. It's been there in front of our noses all along while we've been running around chasing robots and reading books on how to become Japanese-or at least manage like them.

For a large corporation to be effective, it must be simple. For an organization to be simple, its people must have self-confidence and intellectual self-assurance. Insecure managers create complexity, real leaders do not clutter.

If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
