My best friend…

My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.

– Abraham Lincoln

We shouldn’t….

We shouldn’t be working towards equality just because it’s the right thing, we should do it because it’s the smart thing. From a company point of view, or an organizational point of view, if you can use the full talents of the workforce, you’re going to outperform. So whether you’re a man or a woman, whether you’re the most entry-level employee trying to outperform, or the CEO, if you engage and really build diverse teams, you’re going to outperform. So do it because it’s going to help you.

– Sheryl Sandberg

 

People….

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas and fitting in instead of standing out.

– Warren G. Bennis

I like….

I like my job because it involves learning. I like being around smart people who are trying to figure out new things. I like the fact that if people really try, they can figure out how to invent things that actually have an impact.

– Bill Gates

Managers….

Managers maintain an efficient status quo while leaders attack the status quo to create something new.

– Orrin Woodward

That has…

That has been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple

– Steve Jobs

Do not…

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

– Bertrand Russell

Change….

Change is the end result of all true learning.

– Leo Buscaglia

The snake….

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be a mind.

– Friedrich Nietzsche

A leader…

A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.

– Beth Revis
