“What is needed now is for leaders to become more open, more flexible, less egoistic and less hypocritical. We must loosen our death grip on whatever we believe to be the truth simply because it is how we want the truth to look. We must be honest with ourselves and invite honesty from others.”
Susan Scott, Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today

“I want us all to stop thinking only in terms of accomplishments, of task and completion, of beating the competition, of gathering income and merchandise, of winning praise, and instead, live our lives forging the deepest relationships we can with ourselves and with one another. i want us to respond to adversity by deepening our engagement in our lives. It isn't complicated.”
Susan Scott, Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today

“Remember that what gets talked about and how it gets talked about determines what will happen. Or won't happen. And that we succeed or fail, gradually then suddenly, one conversation at a time.”
Susan Scott, Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today

Stephen King
“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
Stephen King, The Shawshank Redemption

Tara Hunt
“Openness and transparency is a great first step, but it is equally as important to take the results of that openness--the feedback and market research--and integrate it into the product itself.”
Tara Hunt, The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business
