Great vision without great people is irrelevant.

Genius of AND. Embrace both extremes on a number of dimensions at the same time. Instead of choosing a OR B, figure out how to have A AND B-purpose AND profit, continuity AND change, freedom AND responsibility, etc.

It took Einstein ten years of groping through the fog to get the theory of special relativity, and he was a bright guy.

Resilency, not perfection, is the signature of greatness.

If I were running a company today, I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could. I'd put off everything else to fill my bus. Because things are going to come back. My flywheel is going to start to turn. And the single biggest constraint on the success of my organization is the ability to get and to hang on to enough of the right people.

Creative leadership impact increases in your 50's. When I turn 50 I want to say, "Nice start!"

A dream is a feeling that sticks - and propels.
