opportunity people today
Opportunity lives at the intersection of what people need tomorrow and can be just barely built today.
thinking odds people
If people don't think the odds are against you, you're doing it wrong.
thinking people important
I think bad politics are incredibly dangerous, so it's important to make sure that people are communicating well. Culture and morale are super important. It's best to not force it, but let it happen organically and genuinely.
people prestige creation
I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.
thinking sight people
I think people are always able to achieve more than they think they can. While that’s cliche, I don’t know if managers think about that enough. You have to set your sights extremely high.
simple people toys
Start with something simple and small, then expand over time. If people call it a 'toy' you're definitely onto something.
distance people levels
If you don't go to every level of your company, you distance yourself from the marketplace and from your people.
people innovation needs
Innovation is hard because solving problems people didn't know they had & building something no one needs look identical at first.
begins cup
My workday begins around 11 A.M., with a cup of black coffee in each hand. If I had more hands, there would be more coffee.
winning organization world
In an IT lead world, incumbents generally win because they have the existing relationship with the IT organization.
technology building software
In a user lead model, users are bringing in their own technology... and you can build software then, around the user.
technology want way
They can bring the technology in, then you can sell to the enterprise when they want to have better control, better security... you still have the same biz model as a traditional enterprise sw company, but the way to get into the company is through the end user.
technology building disruption
Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology oriented disruption.
pride thinking organization
There's a lot of pride that business owners have. It's actually really critical that pride and ownership extends to everyone in the organization. I think of everyone is in the same boat in driving the company forward.
