leadership teamwork thinking
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.
leadership educational unique
Customers perceive service in their own unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end-of-the-day, and totally human terms. Perception is all there is!
leadership curiosity important
Winston Churchill said that appetite was the most important thing about education. Leadership guru Warren Bennis says he wants to be remembered as 'curious to the end.' David Ogilvy contends that the greatest ad copywriters are marked by an insatiable curiosity 'about every subject under the sun.'
leadership sorry team
Gandhi and Mandela and Churchill and JFK and Reagan and Thatcher and Sarkozy and Franklin and Washington set the tone to an incredible degree-their "personal style" was their "brand." ("It" starts with personal style of the tip-top leadership team. Sorry to be politically insensitive, but who would give a hoot about Tibet if it weren't for the look and style of the Dalai Lama?) Boss at any level: You're either on the "it" boat-or not.
leadership enough customers
It's not enough to be close to the customer. You've got to be glued to the customer.
leadership vision management
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
leadership careers two
Leaders' careers will usually be determined by their handling of one or two critical events that no one could possibly anticipate or plan for.
leadership motivation fundamentals
Leadership is about tapping the wellsprings of human motivation - and about fundamental relations with one's fellows.
inspirational leadership congratulations
All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

I started out with the Big Brothers program and then went to the American Cancer Society, where I was eventually the national vice president. I'm a mission kind of guy. The Red Cross was an easy mission to embrace, like Chevrolet and apple pie.

My charge to the design team was for them to do the meanest, scrappiest, street-fighting dog they could sketch.
