people leader roles
A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.
leadership real guy
I was never the smartest guy in the room. From the first person I hired, I was never the smartest guy in the room. And that's a big deal. And if you're going to be a leader - if you're a leader and you're the smartest guy in the world - in the room, you've got real problems.

When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
inspirational jobs smell
One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you've got somebody who's raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give 'em that shot.
team winning achievement
Celebrating creates an atmosphere of recognition and positive energy. Imagine a team winning the World Series without champagne spraying everywhere. And yet companies win all the time and let it go without so much as a high five. Work is too much a part of life not to recognize moments of achievement. Make a big deal out of them. If you don't, no one will.

Ideally, the star will be replaced within eight hours. This sends the message that no single individual is bigger than the company.

The team with the best players usually does win - this is why you need to invest the majority of your time and energy in developing your people.
inspirational reputation bigs
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
inspirational believe thinking
The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important - and then get out of their way while they do it.
running cash-flow satisfaction
If I had to run a company on three measures, those measures would be customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction and cash flow.
strategy results employee
Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy . . . Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products.
