Few people will turn to themselves to take responsibility for their results until they have exhausted all opportunities to blame someone else.

Clean up your own backyard. Change by example. Just be the way you want others to be and hope they pay attention.

As your employer, if I see that you have to work hard to get your results, yet your coworkers achieve their results with little effort, don't be surprised if I'm not all that impressed with your hard work.

The title's more important than the book.

Don’t measure busywork. Don’t measure activity. Measure accomplishment. It doesn’t matter what people do as much as it matters what they get done.

Businesses get better only when the people in the business get better.

You can't write a book and just expect it to sell itself, you know. We're not building that better mousetrap and waiting for the world to beat a path to our dear. You've got to build a market for your book.
