‘You can choose stasis for any number of reasons. Just know that a steep tab is on its way to your table when you do.’

‘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.’

‘When you lay your head on the pillow at night- or in my case the small hours of the morning- you just have to believe that you did everything you could.’

‘Never compromise or second-guess yourself. It’s all too easy to be dazzled by the promise of experience, but tread carefully.’

‘I had to face the fact that I will always be a work in progress.’

‘It takes a certain humility to recognize that you will never have it all figured out. But learning to let go is critical. As soon as you get too attached to a certain way of doing things, failure is inevitable.’

‘Keep your eyes open and your camera phone ready. Great ideas can come from anywhere.’

‘We stayed ahead by constantly tweaking. Not reinventing so much as adjusting with subtle changes that added up to something fresh. True creativity never stays still.’

‘Anyone can be creative. It’s all about finding a solution to a problem, then taking action.’

‘When you’re going against someone, get into the numbers and cold, hard facts. Never give them the chance to dismiss what you are saying as biased or personal.’

‘… Sometimes no matter how hard you prepare or how much leeway you give yourself, that perfect storm will hit, and all you can do is get through it.’

‘You think that you know the business like the back of your hand and you are the only authority, but other people can hit home runs for you.’

‘You cannot out-give God.’
