Famous Quotes & Sayings

Andy Grove

There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. There is a phrase, "The devil is in the details." One can formulate brilliant global strategies whose executability is zero. It's only through familiarity with details - the capability of the individuals who have to execute, the marketplace, the timing - that a good strategy emerges. I like to work from details to big pictures.

I don't understand shopping, it doesn't make any sense to me. As guys, we decide we want something and then we go out and buy it.

I don't get it.
