"I'm a capitalist
in mind, a
socialist at
heart."
“To build a successful
business, you have to be
able to pick entrepreneurs
very early and get them
embedded into the
business. They need to go
out into the ecosystem,
demonstrate their
abilities, nurture the
business and build it up.”
"We give people major
responsibilities even if they
are only 60 per cent ready.
Our experience is that
people are pretty elastic
when you give them
responsibility, and they just
grow rapidly with the job."
“Everyone
experiences tough
times, it is a
measure of your
determination and
dedication how you
deal with them and
how you can come
through them.”
“To be a leader you
need two attributes:
the environment and
training. Equally
important is
recognition of the
fact that this is an
opportunity and one
has to grab it.”
"Unless you show
extraordinary
performance in your
journey to being a good
leader and prove your
managerial capability,
organizations don't
throw you up into
leadership positions."
“Your most unhappy
customers are your
greatest source of
learning.”
“Success is a lousy
teacher. It seduces
smart people into
thinking they can't
lose.”
“Well, you know, I
was a human
being before I
became a
businessman.”
“If there is any one secret of
success, it lies in the ability to
get the other person's point of
view and see things from that
person's angle as well as from
your own.”
“A market is never saturated
with a good product, but it is
very quickly saturated with a
bad one.”
“Failure is the opportunity to
begin again, more intelligently.”
“You don't need
to have a 100-
person company
to develop that
idea.”
“Genius is 1%
inspiration and 99%
perspiration.
Accordingly a genius
is often merely a
talented person who
has done all of his or
her homework.”
“I wanted to be an
editor or a journalist,
I wasn't really
interested in being an
entrepreneur, but I
soon found I had to
become an
entrepreneur in order
to keep my magazine
going.”
“Luck is a dividend of sweat. The
more you sweat, the luckier you
get.”
“It's easy to have principles when you're rich. The
important thing is to have principles
when you're poor.”
“Some of the best business and
nonprofit CEOs I've worked with
over a sixty-five-year consulting
career were not stereotypical
leaders. They were all over the
map in terms of their personalities,
attitudes, values, strengths, and
weaknesses.”
“Executives owe it to the
organisation and to their fellow
workers not to tolerate
nonperforming individuals in
important jobs.”
“The future may be made
up of many factors but
where it truly lies is in
the hearts and minds of
men. Your dedication
should not be confined
for your own gain, but
unleashes your passion
for our beloved country
as well as for the
integrity and humanity of
mankind.”
