I think you've got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other.

I think there are many honest businessmen.

The reality is that most companies are not about any values at all - they are about making money. It is extremely rare for a business to stand for anything because most businesses don't want to alienate potential customers, and if you believe in anything you are going to alienate someone.

I very much believe in values-based leadership and that the values that I believe in and try to govern by are transcendent values.

Talking about corporations - they're so big. There's not a person at a corporation.

When you run a company, you need to be pretty open-minded. There are a lot of different views on faith, on religion, on many different issues, and you can't let your own faith be the barometer.

I think in any organization you want your manager to have a strong opinion. You don't want them to just say, 'Yes, sir' to things they don't believe in.

I don't believe in traditional company structures because the best ideas do not always come from the top.

I believe in entrepreneurs. I believe in their ability to make positive change in the world.
