Leading fosters a working atmosphere that stimulates an open exchange of ideas and fosters dissent. People should show a genuine concern for one another and treat one another with fairness, as peers and friends. With such an atmosphere it should be a pleasure to come to work.

Basic philosophy, spirit and drive of an organization have far more to do with its relative achievements than do technological or economic resources, organizational structure, innovation and timing.

There is no such thing as business ethics. There is only one kind -- you have to adhere to the highest standards.

A business of high principle attracts high-caliber people more easily, thereby gaining a basic competitive and profit edge.

Decisions should be based on facts, objectively considered.

People should be judged on the basis of their performance, not nationality, personality, education, or personal traits and skills.

If you are not willing to take pain to live by your principles, there is no point in having principles.
