It's so important for business leaders to discover what their purpose is. In the days when the business seems overwhelming, or you aren't certain you can continue, it is your purpose that will compel you to push through.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.

I think one purpose is very clear among corporations and business leaders: make profits, deliver high return for stockholders, conquer markets, service consumers and create jobs. But in today's world, demands from corporations and leaders are much more than that. We need to understand what people really want at the very end.

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.

I think that business leaders today have to be more rounded than they used to be, they have to be completely multi-functional and fast-moving.

You know, I think when people are in important positions in big organizations, they often get tied up with the minutia of managing money, managing things. They often forget that people deserve to be led.

In business, there's a constant focus on developing strategies, reviewing executive performance against those strategies each year, engaging with opposing or different points of view, and having intellectual dialogue.

Most of the good executives do pretty well. Because to be a good executive you have to be strong, and you have to have a simple attribute that people have forgotten about - courage.

When you are led by values, it doesn't cost your business, it helps your business.
