True individuality can be lonely.

Born of the impossibly varied options we have to amuse ourselves, cutting-edge companies are finding innovative ways to tailor our entertainment choices to who we are, relieving us of the burden of finding the diamond in the rough of 500 TV channels or thousands of movies and music albums released every year.

Managers are, and should be, totally responsible for recognizing individual strengths (both natural talents and skills), getting those strengths in proper alignment (i.e. in the right "seats"), and then leveraging them.

Teach your children how to identify their own strengths and challenge them to contribute these strengths to others.

If you want to be clear, act.

No idea will work if people don't trust your intentions toward them.

The time you spend with your best (employees) is, quite simply, your most productive time.
