‘The time to suit up for the battle again is just before the victory party begins.’

Even when you’re talking about complex things, there is always a way to say it plainly to ensure everyone can grasp your intentions.’

‘Humans tend to support that which they help create, and resist that which is forced upon them.’

‘Without insights you are guessing, and smart people don’t guess.’

‘You don’t have a strategy until everyone buys into and is acting on it. By definition, do you have one?’

‘Unless you want to mess around with style over substance, it’s best to know where you’re going before you start going there.’

‘Don’t move until you see it, but when you see it, move.’

‘Stay uncomfortable.’

‘Always be thoughtful, yet nonetheless take leaps that move you forward and open up new possibilities.’

Insights are the raw materials of building and rebuilding empires, the golden keys to reinventing every company.’
