When we're able to put most of our energy into developing our natural talents, extraordinary room for growth exists

From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths.

If you want people to understand that you value their contributions and that they are important, the recognition and praise you provide must have meaning that is specific to each individual.

Talent (a natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving) × Investment (time spent practicing, developing your skills, and building your knowledge base) = Strength (the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance)

What works for one persons needs is almost always very different from the next.

The quickest way to be a little bit happier and more engaged in your job is to spend some time thinking about developing closer friendships.

When we get at least six hours of daily social time, it increases our wellbeing and minimizes stress and worry. The six hours includes time at work, at home, on the telephone, talking to friends, sending e-mail, and other communication.
