When employees are happy, they are your very best ambassadors.

If somehow a proclamation were made that C.E.O.'s could only make a maximum of $300,000 a year, you would not have any shortage of very qualified men and women seeking the jobs.

I think that most of the people running companies today are motivated and pay is a small portion of the motivation.

Obscene salaries send the wrong message through a company. The message is that all brilliance emanates from the top; that the worker on the floor of the store or the factory is insignificant.

If you've got to work for the rest of your life, you'd better do something you'll enjoy.

If you're going to say to all the people that you're working with, 'We want you to treat the customers honestly; don't lie and don't cheat,' it is somewhat hypocritical if you're not following the same rules.

Paying good wages is not in opposition to good productivity.
