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.
thinking odds people
If people don't think the odds are against you, you're doing it wrong.
thinking would-be kind
I think I'm the kind of person who would be very difficult to employ - I'm pretty annoying, but driven.
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.
thinking iphone ecosystems
All of a sudden, if you think about the entire ecosystem of connected devices that can pull down information, access content and allow me to share and work and communicate, the vast majority now are not Windows computers. They are iPhones. They are iPads. They are Android devices.
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.
encouragement thinking ideas
If you're waiting for encouragement from others, you're doing it wrong. By the time people think an idea is good, it's probably too late.
thinking focus needs
What happens to the Microsofts, Oracles and IBMs of the world is that when they get big enough, they don't think they need to bring that same level of focus and energy to the end-user experience.
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.
building software enterprise
We didn't really start the company to go build an enterprise software company.
