People have to decide on priorities if they want to get anywhere. The best lessons I learned was to just do it.

Colleagues should take care of each other, have fun, celebrate success, learn by failure, look for reasons to praise not to criticize, communicate freely and respect each other.

People flourish if they’re praised.

We went all the way down the Himalayan chain for a day and a half. That was magnificent, except the Chinese told us they were going to shoot us down if we came out the far end. So I spent a lot of my time contacting former Prime Minister Tony Blair begging him to tell the Chinese we were coming in this direction by mistake and could he please say we have no nasty motives for flying into their territory.

I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.

In 30 years time, as technology moves forward even further, people are going to look back and wonder why offices ever existed.

I think that being a business a leader that treads all over people to get to the top is actually not the way I think to become a successful business leader.
