The truth is we have a consistent purpose that we got from our founder, some values that we share - those are persistent, too. It's not just change. But that's the thing that people underestimate about Walmart right now, that it has an ability to change.

If we were with a bunch of Walmart associates right now, we could say, 'The only thing that's constant in our company other than our purpose and values is..,' and they would respond, 'Change.'"

The only way a man can remain consistent amid changing circumstances is to change with them while preserving the same dominating purpose.

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political and economic change.

Always thinking about the customer value proposition is including price, assortment, experience, and trust, and all of those have been changed by technology and been changed by e-commerce, and so leading up to the moment when I took this role, there was an understanding that we needed to invest in e-commerce, grow e-commerce, but we didn't take it seriously enough.
