The ability to please your shareholders comes because of what you do for clients.
From Ginni Rometty
Above and beyond, not only are we an innovation company, we are in service of our clients.
As I tell all our folks, the only reason we exist - make no mistake - is our clients.
I've always looked for challenges, and I have found plenty.
You build your own strategy. You don't define it by what another competitor is doing.
Some people make their choice on size. I happen to not be a believer in that. I've often said, especially in an industry that's clamoring for growth, if I wanted size, I wouldn't have divested $8 billion of businesses.
Steward for the long term. It's not always easy, but you do it.
When you manage your company for long-term shareholders, and you manage the company for clients, two of the biggest stakeholders, you will make the right decisions.
The ultimate competitive advantage is being cognitive.
If I have learned nothing else in all my years here, my biggest lesson is you have to constantly reinvent this company. That's how you get to be 103 years old.
