"Emotional commitment is a personal choice. Managers understand this even if their companies don’t."
"Emotional commitment means unchecked, unvarnished devotion to the company and its success; any legendary organizational performance is the result of emotionally committed managers."
"The company may have captured their minds, their bodies and their pockets, but that doesn’t mean it’s captured their hearts."
"Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living."
"Success means: I want to know the work I do means something to somebody and helps make the world, if not a Better place, not a worse one."
"Your values are your essence: an undistorted mirror showing you at your pure, attractive best."
