If you want to hire great people and have them stay, you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win.

Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.

My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better.

Find people who are competent and really bright, but more importantly, people who care exactly about the same things you care about.

Companies must have a noble cause, and it's the leaders job to transform that noble cause into such an inspiring vision, that it will attract the most talented people in the world to want to join it.

You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.
