Quotes
- “I believe that leaders and leadership teams working together in a proper design will run the business more effectively than by hierarchical, command-and-control managing. But I can't prove that. And there are no models.”
- “People should be judged on the basis of their performance, not nationality, personality, education, or personal traits and skills.”
- “Decisions should be based on facts, objectively considered — what I call the fact-founded, thought-through approach to decision making.”
- “A business of high principle generates greater drive and effectiveness because people know that they can do the right thing decisively and with confidence.”
- “A business of high principle attracts high-caliber people more easily, thereby gaining a basic competitive and profit edge.”
- “Fourteen basic and well-known managing processes make up the components from which a management system for any business can be fashioned.”
