The successful person places more attention on doing the right thing rather than doing things right.

Leadership is all about getting results.

Once the facts are clear the decisions jump out at you.

Ideas are cheap and abundant; what is of value is the effective placement of those ideas into situations that develop into action.

There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.

No executive has ever suffered because his subordinates were strong and effective.

The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. I would never promote to a top-level job a man who was not making mistakes...otherwise he is sure to be mediocre.
