ANGER:

ANGER: Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not easy. -Aristotle Anger is a weed; hate is the tree. -St. Augustine Beware the fury of patient men. -John Dryden Whatever's begun in anger, ends in shame. -Benjamin Franklin Anger makes a rich man hated and a poor man scorned. -Thomas Fuller Anger is mementary insanity. -Horace

Charisma not Requried-Build to last

If you're a high-profile charismatic leader, fine. But if you're not, then that's fine, too, for you're in good company right along with those that built companies like 3M,P&G, Sony, Boeing, HP, and Merck. Not a bad crowd. "A high-profile, charismatic style is absolutely not required to successfully shape a visionary company."

The BEST of the BEST

As I look back on my life's work, I'm probably most  proud of having helped to create a company that by  virtue of its values, practices, and success has had a  tremendous impact on the way companies are  managed around the world. And I'm particularly  proud that I'm leaving behind an ongoing  organization that can live on as a role model long after I'm gone.            WILLIAM R. HEWLETT, CO FOUNDER,             HEWLETT - PACKARD COMPANY,1990

Built to Last-'Successful Habits of Visionary Companies'

Employers are "cast members." Customers are "guests." A crowd is an "audience." A work shift is a "performance." A job is a "part." A job description is a "script." A uniform is a "costume." The personnel department is "casting." Being on duty is "onstage." Being off duty is "backstage."                                       -Jim Collins (Best selling author of GOOD TO GREAT)                                        -Jerry I.Porras

love the workers

"Listen to anyone with an original idea, no matter how absurd it might sound at first." "Encourage; don't nitpick. Let people run with an idea." "Hire good people, and leave them alone" "If you put fences around people, you get sheep.Give people the room they need." "Encourage experimental doodling." "Give it a try- and quick!"
