One of the most important competitive advantages a company can have is the ability to keep and motivate the human capital that is in such short supply.
- Majority of people in the workplace today are actively disengaged.
The right people are an organization’s asset.
- People do not exist for the company. The company exists for people.
- Employees are our first customers, and our most influential customers.
A company’s purpose is to become the-best-version-of-itself.
- An employee’s primary purpose is to become the-best-version-of-himself or herself.
- The future of your organization and the potential of your employees are intertwined; their destinies are linked.
- An organization can only become the-best-version-of-itself to the extent that the people who drive that organization are striving to become better-versions-of-themselves.

Henry Ford was giving some guest a tour of his factory and offices. As they passed one door, there was a man with his feet up on this desk and his eyes closed.
- The guests asked Mr. Ford why he didn’t seem to mind that this man was sleeping on the job.
- Ford replied he wasn’t sleeping, he was dreaming.
- “Doesn’t it bother you?” they asked Ford.
- He replied, “No. He is just doing his job. You see that man invented the six-cylinder motor and disk brakes. His job is to dream up things that my competitors think are impossible.”
