Successful people ask for the criticism of others and consider its merit.

Radical transparency fosters goodness in so many ways for the same reasons that bad things are more likely to take place behind closed doors.

I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.

Meditation, more than any other factor, has been the reason for what success I've had.

Know what your people are like, and make sure they do their jobs excellently.

With the media, we don't know what's true, and we don't have radical transparency because we're seeing everything through somebody else's eyes. There's no other industry that has as much power and as much freedom and as little quality control. I can't imagine how anyone could not think that's a problem.

In the end, what matters most is that the people you work with share your values, so I've wanted people who value the meaningful work and meaningful relationships that always motivated me in building Bridgewater.
