Skill at creating, exploiting, and exiting crucial alliances beats ownership of fixed assets

Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.

TRUST, not technology, is the issue of the decade.

When you choose a managerial path, you are choosing to devote your life to people. Period.

A career is a portfolio of projects that teach you new skills, gain you new expertise, develop new capabilities, grow your colleague set, and constantly reinvent you as a brand.

Lavish credit on anyone and everyone who helped you the least bit.
