leadership congratulations two
The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with.

You get the best out of others when you get the best out of yourself.

Thought, not money, is the real business capital...
way pioneers rough
The way of the pioneer is always rough.
business details littles
An executive cannot gradually dismiss details. Business is made up of details and I notice that the chief executive who dismisses them is quite likely to dismiss his business. Success is the sum of detail. It might perhaps be pleasing to imagine oneself beyond detail and engaged only in great things, but as I have often observed, if one attends only to great things and lets the little things pass the great things become little; that is, the business shrinks.
leadership helping-others people
The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.
running doors way
I can walk through the front door of any factory and out the back and tell you if it's making money or not. I can just tell by the way it's being run and by the spirit of the workers.
inspirational success teamwork
It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed.
success details
Success is the sum of details.
strength leadership men
If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life. Ideas are any man's greatest asset.
trust honesty believe
I believe fundamental honesty is the keystone of business.
