Nobody thought the direct business model would work. But work it did, and spectacularly. Until it didn’t. And therein lies the tale.
~ Heather Simmons
People need to feel safe to be who they are—to speak up when they have an idea, or to speak out when they feel something isn't right.
~ Eunice Parisi-Carew
The key to handling conflict is to make sure people understand it's okay to have an opposing view.
Perceive conflict as positive, creative, and issue driven. Don't allow personal attacks.
The world’s existence is with common intent. No one has ownership of it. One may do whatever suits him. You cannot criticize him; you cannot say, ‘This is wrong’. You cannot even think it. Everything is under nature’s management.
~ Dada Bhagwan
How will history judge us? Will our tales be sources of inspiration, or wells of caution?
~ Yunus D. Saleh
In most cases being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting out of their way.
~ Tina Fey
Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.
~ Paul Hawken
Touch paper only once.
~ Robert Allen
My soul, sir? I haven't got one. The management doesn't allow them.
~ Olaf Stapledon
Most people do not see their words as power.
~ Kent Alan Robinson
A single employee, with one message, can succinctly capture the essence of a corporation the same way an iconic photograph captures a moment. Unfortunately, it is usually the negative massages that are published or used in lawsuits.
An email cannot be ignored. You may wish an email was not sent to you, because you learned what you did not want to know, but it must be acted upon because there is now a permanent record linking you to that information.
Emails are viewed as an essential historical record of an organization. A record that cannot be expunged must be created with care or not created at all.
History was once rewritten by the victors. Now we write our own immutable histories with every email, text, and post.
Electronic communication has transmuted conversations into durable and accessible records. Revisionist history has gone the way of the phone booth.
We only pay for what we admire, want and recognize as necessary, even when a cup of coffee is priced at the same value of a book that can change our entire future.
~ Robin Sacredfire
Good managers don't set a goal to increase efficiency, but rather an implementation of business process improvements that result in higher efficiency as well.
~ Eraldo Banovac
Authority is not a power, it is a responsibility.
~ Amit Kalantri
When the competent men of the system are compelled to quit, the system will soon quit itself.
True leaders don't give consoling answers, they take constructive actions.
The decisions that take you to your highest points in life are the toughest decisions you'd have to make.
~ Constance Chuks Friday
Anger can be managed to becomeemotional content that raises power.
~ Toba Beta
Maybe it is not a coincidence that, even in heaven, under the perspective of the Bible, there is a hierarchy. After all, what better way to impose the “benefits” of accepting the power of a hierarchy in the human mind?
~ Miguel Reynolds Brandao
Whatever the religion, we are formatted to accept hierarchy without any questions and while most management studies discuss business models, organisation and power structure, they seldom question the different types of hierarchies. One has to wonder if this hierarchy really is an absolute truth…
Think crazily, even if others laugh at you. Act bravely, even if you are all alone.
~ Dilip Bathija
Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress, working hard for something we love is called passion.
~ Simon Sinek
I don't put my ideas in a meeting for acceptance or rejection, I put them in the market for success or failure.
Hug your customers but also offer handshake to your competitors.
First make your business itself a brand and then every product you create will be accepted as a brand.
Children imitate their parents, employees their managers.
Management, a science? Of course not, it's just a waste-paper basket full of recipes which provided the dish of the day during a few years of plenty and economic growth. Now the recipes are inappropriate and the companies which persist in following them will disappear.
~ Leon Courville
One best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
Setting a goal is like to set your destination point in your life GPS which could take you to your desire position as you dreamed about...
~ Rashedur Ryan Rahman
In life, you get what you believe you deserve.
~ Jay Samit
No obstacle is so big that one person with determination can't make a difference.
At the heart of all sales and marketing is the ability to create demand even in the absence of logic.
The real challenge is for each of us to determine where we feel we can make the most impact.
Pivoting is not the end of the disruption process, but the beginning of the next leg of your journey.
Disruptors don't have to discover something new, they just have to discover a practical use for new discoveries.
