If the company depends entirely on you - your creativity, ingenuity, inspiration, salesmanship or charisma - nobody will want to buy it. The risk and the dependency are too great.

When we confront facts and fears, we achieve real power and unleash our capacity for change.

When we care about people, we care less about money, and when we care about money, we care less about people.

Any fool can buy talent; only real leaders develop it.

If you have never failed at anything, then you haven't been trying hard enough, aren't very imaginative, or have had such extraordinarily good luck that you have come to believe you are invincible.

What do you want your business to do? Make money, of course. To pay for people and supplies, to be able to grow.

Bosses and leaders everywhere should cherish the people who bring them bad news, disappointing data or hard problems.
