Book Titles

A company that is managed only for the benefit of shareholders treats its employees as a line item, a cost to be contained.

Treating employees benevolently shouldn’t be viewed as an added cost that cuts into profits, but as a powerful energizer that can grow the enterprise into something far greater than one leader could envision.

If people relate to the company they work for, if they form an emotional tie to it and buy into its dreams, they will pour their heart into making it better.

There is no more precious commodity than the relationship of trust and confidence a company has with its employees.

Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying.

If you pour your heart into your work, or into any worthy enterprise, you can achieve dreams others may think impossible. That’s what makes life rewarding.

…the more uninspiring your origins, the more likely you are to use your imagination and invent worlds where everything seems impossible.

Once you overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, other hurdles become less daunting. Most people can achieve beyond their dreams if they insist upon it.

Life is a series of near misses. But a lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future.

…when you really believe – in yourself, in your dream – you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.
