“Firing him was just like shootin’ Old Yeller...”

"Never let your ego get so close to your

position that when your position goes,

your ego goes with it.“

“Coach Ewbank was angry and asked if I realized what I had done? I said

‘No, Sir”! He pointed out I had given the Colts ammunition and

something to put on their bulletin board. But Coach, I said, it is your

fault! You gave me the confidence!”

“Nurse, get on the internet, go to SURGERY.COM,

scroll down and click on the ‘Are you totally lost?’ icon.”

“This is fine as far

as it goes.

From here on, it’s

who you know.”

“In my experience, relationships and loyalty have become undervalued commodities at many American companies. So many of us have lost sight of the vital importance of dealing with people we can trust.

Adversarial or distant relationships are not inevitable —nor are they the best way of doing business. Much can be gained by enlisting partners and colleagues who are committed to the same goals.”

Leadership is about convincing others in your organization to

follow your vision. It is also about finding partners outside the

organization (community, fellow travelers, org peers, etc….)
