"It’s impossible for a company to get what it wants most if managers have to make a choice between their own values and company priorities."
- Stan Slap
"Try not to take this the wrong way, but your brain is smarter than you are."
"A manager’s emotional commitment is the ultimate trigger for their discretionary effort, worth more than financial, intellectual & physical commitment combined."
"You can stuff yourself with emotional fulfillment until it’s dribbling down your chin & your ego will quickly chomp it down and demand more."
"Your dreams and the dreams of your company may be different, but they are in no way incompatible."
"Providing the ultimate solution to work/life balance: not escaping from work but living the way you want to at work."
"Your company really has to work for you before you’ll really work for your company."
"What companies want most from their managers is what they most stop their managers from giving. What managers want most from their jobs is what they most stop themselves from getting."
"Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it."
"What managers want most from companies they stop themselves from getting.What companies want most from managers they stop them from giving."
