I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

• An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.
• Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
• Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
• 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.
• The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
• Short cycle business are being impacted by credit, and are being impacted by gasoline prices, food, distribution businesses, chemical business.
• Change before you have to.
• Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
• Don't manage - lead change before you have to.
• Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.
