Pearls from The Book of Leadership Wisdom

“You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.” -Andrew Carnegie

“There’s an old proverb that says: ‘If you are planning for one year, plant rice. If you are planning for 10 years, plant trees. If you are planning for 100 years, plant people.’ To that I would add . . . plant them, but don’t forget to move them around every seven to ten years. New eyes give rise to new ideas and opportunities.” -Michael Eisner

“You must realize that it is more than money that the men want, it is a sense of ownership.” -William Cooper Procter

“You can manage inventory, you can manage things, but you must lead people if you want to tap their full potential.” -Ross Perot
