class feet tree
I was always the class clown and got kicked out of class at least once a day for just being a goofball. Not suspended or anything, just sit outside and look at the tree on the bench. I got benched a lot. You keep one foot on the bench and try to get as far away as possible.
voice people want
Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.
people gone morale
When I went into GM there was a lack of morale. The company had gone bankrupt and the people who worked there were embarrassed. Underneath all of, though, there was a will to show what they were capable of, but nobody knew exactly what to do.
successful people want
I find people to be people everywhere. Everyone wants the same thing - be successful.
believe talking too-much
I've been accused many times of not talking very much, but I guess I don't believe in talking things to death. You can talk too much on most anything and it stops being productive. There is a time for action. Eventually you have to pull the trigger.
jobs mean passion
Find your passion is in life, and do what you can to integrate that into your work life. That's not to say you won't have occasional frustrations in your job - that just goes with the territory - but at least you'll feel better inside, and that, over time, will mean more to you than you might think.
running independent two
No partnership between two independent companies, no matter how well run, can match the speed, effectiveness, responsiveness and efficiency of a solely owned company.
block internet periods
AT&T will not block access to the public Internet or degrade service, period.
thinking car principles
I don't know anything about cars. A business is a business, and I think I can learn about cars. I'm not that old, and I think the business principles are the same.
able juncture critical
I am honored to be able to serve GM at this critical juncture and take part in its reinvention.
communication reality choices
We commend the commission, under the leadership of Chairman Martin, for recognizing the reality of today's communications marketplace and for fostering an environment where there will be greater choice in communications services and providers.
mean knowing littles
I started at GM knowing very little about that particular business. Not being an expert means you have to learn everything, starting from the basics.
average guy world
I'm a pretty average guy and want to keep a low profile. I don't want the world necessarily to know about me.
mean assessment years
When I got to GM they were using a matrix method of management which means everybody has more than one boss. I first heard about that system many years ago. It's supposed to help with collaboration, but my assessment is that it's pretty hard to get geared for action that way.
