Our Struggles Are The Short Term Lessons

The Responsibility Of The Company Is To Help The People, Grow As People. If We Can Do That, Then The Company Will Grow As A Company.

It Is Only From The People I've Had The Good Fortune To Meet That I Am Learning The Lessons To Guide Me. Baz Luhrmann, Director Of 'moulin Rouge,' For Example, Has A Childlike Curiosity About The World. He Doesn't Pretend To Know All The Answers - Quite The Opposite, In Fact. He Asks Loads Of Questions Of Everyone.

Corporate Culture Matters. How Management Chooses To Treat Its People Impacts Everything - For Better Or For Worse.

If Our Leaders Are To Enjoy The Trappings Of Their Position In The Hierarchy, Then We Expect Them To Offer Us Protection. The Problem Is, For Many Of The Overpaid Leaders, We Know That They Took The Money And Perks And Didn’t Offer Protection To Their People. In Some Cases, They Even Sacrificed Their People To Protect Or Boost Their Own Interests. This Is What So Viscerally Offends Us. We Only Accuse Them Of Greed And Excess When We Feel They Have Violated The Very Definition Of What It Means To Be A Leader.

Great Companies Don’t Hire Skilled People And Motivate Them, They Hire Already Motivated People And Inspire Them. People Are Either Motivated Or They Are Not. Unless You Give Motivated People Something To Believe In, Something Bigger Than Their Job To Work Toward, They Will Motivate Themselves To Find A New Job And You’ll Be Stuck With Whoever’s Left.
