So every time you think about your work-life balance issue, remember what your boss is thinking about - and that's winning. Your needs may get heard - and even successfully resolved - but not if the boss's needs aren't met as well.
Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Any company trying to compete...must figure out a way to engage the mind of every employee.
Excellence and competitiveness aren't incompatible with honesty and integrity.
There are only three measurements that tell you nearly everything you need to know about your organization's overall performance: employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and cash flow...It goes without saying that no company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it...
The team with the best players wins.
If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete.
The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders - people who not only have enormous amounts of energy, but who can energize those whom they lead.
I believe social responsibility begins with a strong, competitive company. Only a healthy enterprise can improve and enrich the lives of people and their communities.
Protecting underperformers always backfires.
The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
No company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.
