If you don't give people a chance to fail... you won't innovate... if you wanna be an innovative company allow people to make mistakes.

My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant - but misdirected - ideas of others.

I bet you that over time, because we come up with new ideas to grow sales, we end up with about the same number of people making more money.

Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.

I think it sounds stupid if you have this big company, and you can only do five things. I think it's also not very good for the employees. Because then, you have 30,000 employees and they're all doing the same thing, which isn't very exciting for them.
