There are "four keys" to becoming an excellent manager: finding the right fit for employees, focusing on strengths of employees, defining the right results, and hiring for talent - not just knowledge and skills.

People leave managers, not companies

You shouldn't take pride in your natural talents any more than you should take pride in your sex, your race or color of your hair

To get the best coaching outcomes, always have your 1-on-1's on your employee's turf not yours. In your office the truth hides.

What do we know to be important but are unable to measure?

Passion isn't something that lives way up in the sky, in abstract dreams and hopes. It lives at ground level, in the specific details of what you're actually doing every day.

Your strongest life is built through a continuous practice of designing moment by moment.
