The success and ultimately the survival of every business, large or small, depends in the last analysis on its ability to develop people. This ability is not measured by any of our conventional yardsticks of economic success; yet, is the final measurement.

The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.

The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.

The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
