To operate based on conviction and belief requires an acceptance that your actions could get you fired. This is different from pig-headed bravado, and it is different from putting the company at risk.

Safe is good for sidewalks and swimming pools, but life requires risk if we are to get anywhere.

If you don't understand people, you don't understand business.

Great leaders see money as fuel, not a destination.

The responsibility of the company is to help the people, grow as people. If we can do that, then the company will grow as a company.

It is like when a player has a slump, we do not trade them, we coach them. It is the same with our employees. The best leaders come to the aid of their people, whose performance is down. Not come down harder on them.

There are leaders, and there are those who lead.
