One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you've got somebody who's raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give 'em that shot.

You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.

If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.

Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will

Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.

A strategy is something like, an innovative new product; globalization, taking your products around the world; be the low-cost producer. A strategy is something you can touch; you can motivate people with; be number one and number two in every business. You can energize people around the message.
