The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.

If we get the right people in the right job we've won the game.

The most important job you have is growing your people, giving them a chance to reach their dreams.

No one can guarantee you a job other than satisfied customers. That's the only thing that works. Nothing creates work other than products and services you provide that create satisfied customers.

My job is to find great ideas, exaggerate them, and spread them like hell around the business with the speed of light...And to put resources in to support them. Keep finding ideas. That's the job of just about all of our CEOs.

Companies don't give job security. Only satisfied customers do.

Shareholder value is the result of you doing a great job, watching your share price go up, your shareholders win, and dividends increasing. What happens when you have increasing shareholder value? You're delivering better employees to their communities and they can give back. Communities are winning because employees are involved in mentoring and all these other things. Customers are winning because you're providing them new products.

Don't take a job because your mother wants you to. Don't be a victim. You own your decision.

Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
