You measure your people and you take action on those that don't measure up.
From Jack Welch
One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you've got somebody who's raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give 'em that shot.
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
My main job was developing talent. I was a gardener providing water and other nourishment to our top 750 people. Of course, I had to pull out some weeds, too.
The essence of competitiveness is liberated when we make people believe that what they think and do is important - and then get out of their way while they do it.
If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.
Change before you have to.
Strong managers who make tough decisions to cut jobs provide the only true job security in today's world. Weak managers are the problem. Weak managers destroy jobs.
Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
