success tiny facts
The winners stun us not by their cleverness, but by the fact that every tiny aspect of the business is just a touch better than the norm.
positive simple productive-work
The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
people important asking
If future competitiveness depends on treating people as an important part of the institution, the least respectful thing I can imagine doing to a human being is asking him to urinate in a cup.
remember mantras
Remember my mantra: distinct... or extinct.
leader learners best-leader
The best leaders are the best notetakers, best askers, and best learners.
people innovation analysis
Nearly 100% of innovation-from business to politics-is inspired not by "market analysis" but by people who are supremely pissed off by the way things are.
remembers-you remember-you entrepreneur
Remember: You are the only human being in the world who can help this particular customer at this particular moment in time.
motivation work numbers
You will be remembered, in the long haul, for the quality of your work, not the quantity of your work. No one evaluates Picasso based on the number of paintings he churned out.
memorable excellence find-me
Excellence comes from human beings doing things of value that customers find memorable.
leadership motivation fundamentals
Leadership is about tapping the wellsprings of human motivation - and about fundamental relations with one's fellows.
success odds differences
Unless you walk out into the unknown, the odds of making a profound difference in your life are pretty low.
improvement insignificant
There is no such thing as an insignificant improvement.
ability presentation
There are few things that will take you further in life, than your ability to make a good presentation.
excellent-work excellence lines
A while back, I came across a line attributed to IBM founder Thomas Watson. If you want to achieve excellence, he said, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
