Companies that change best over time know first and foremost what should not change.

Most people will look back and realize they did not have a great life because it's just so easy to settle for a good life.

I don't know where we should take this company, but I do know that if I start with the right people, ask them the right questions, and engage them in vigorous debate, we will find a way to make this company great.

I've never found an important decision made by a great organization that was made at a point of unanimity. Significant decisions carry risks and inevitably some will oppose it.
