“Do not define yourself by what you do. A manager? No, you are not a manager but you work as a manager. A maid? No, you are not a maid but you work as a maid. An accountant? No but you only work now as an accountant”
“We're working-class people, which means we don't get rich or have maids. Be content with what you are and what you have.”
“When you’re a manager, you work for your company. When you’re a leader, your company works for you.”
“The people who work with you as their manager will look to you as one of their sources of wisdom”
“Accountability only works if you want it to.”
“Work should be personal. For all of us. Not just for the artist and entrepreneur. Work should have meaning for the accountant, the construction worker, the technologist, the manager and the clerk.”
