Tweetable Quotes
“We live in a world where there’s an abundance of data, whereas twenty years ago that wasn’t the case. And so, what you have to start to do is organize your thoughts around where you want to go and figure out how you communicate that. That’s really the first step.”
“And that’s really what execution is about. It’s being nimble and having the data flow and the management team and the organizational structure to remain nimble as things happen.”
“The CEO’s job, as one of our advisers always says is, ‘All they have to do all day long is say the same thing to everybody.’ That’s what you want to CEO to do because so much information comes into your managers every day. If you’re not repeating the same stuff over and over and over again, people are gonna be lost.”
“If you try to do more than you’re capable of, you’re stressing the limits and you’re losing what you’re good at. So, if you’re on a team for a reason, do that job well.”
