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
