An idea's worth is directly proportional to the opposition created.

It's a poor bureaucrat who can't stall a good idea until even its sponsor is relieved to see it dead and officially buried.

Make every decision as if you owned the company.

A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.

It's been my experience that the people who gain trust, loyalty, excitement, and energy fast are the ones who pass on the credit to the people who have really done the work. A leader doesnt need any credit... He's getting more credit than he deserves anyway.

A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong - that's healthy.

If you have to have a policy manual, publish the 'Ten Commandments.'
