The Gold Mine Quotes

“Let’s assume that people respond to stress.” “Is that true?” “Well, not just negative stress, but also positive stress like interest, or ambition. If they’re under too little stress, they don’t care, so it’s very hard to motivate them to do something. But if they’re under too much stress, they panic. They freeze, or they get angry and do completely irrational things.”
― Freddy Ballé, The Gold Mine: A Novel of Lean Turnaround
