Executives must place a priority on wellbeing if they want to attract the right people, keep their best people, and drive their company's financial performance.

The employers who do best are employers who reject these false choices. It's not a zero-sum world where you either take care of your workers or you take care of your shareholders. You can do good and do well, too.

My management style is there is no such thing as non-important people in the company.

In the larger companies, you have this tendency to get top-down direction.

Poor people put a low value on themselves and their efforts.

It's not reasonable for companies that have chief executives and board members who are paid very considerable sums to subsidise low pay through in-work benefits.

There are very few people at the decision-making table to argue for minimum-wage workers. Very few people.

The down market favours the small two-, three-, four-person company, not the huge company with 100 people losing half a million dollars a month.

Relatively few people should start companies.

When popularity is your only goal, doing well in class is going to feature very low, if at all, on your priority list.
