Author: Allan Loren
Quote: Leadership development is virtually the most important control lever you have for achieving success. You can't control customers; there are too many of them, and they are, of course, independent. You can't control the environment; look at all we've been through in the past four or five years. But if you have leaders who are adaptable and capable of leading just about anything, you can be successful. To make better leaders, we have to modify their behavior, not their personality. We spend a lot of energy helping team members become better leaders.

Quote: Returns to investors reflect changes in a company's financial p erformance, not the level of its p erformance.

Subject: Finance

Author: Reinhard Selten
Quote: It can be proved through experiments that people are not conscious of the reasons why they make a decision...People do not know what has influenced their decision and often invent reasons for their choice afterward. Only a small part of decision making reaches the conscious mind, while most decision making, just as most thinking, is below this threshold of consciousness. You know what you are thinking, but you do not know why you are thinking it.

...I run experiments both with experienced managers and with uni-versity students. Overall, the students do much better. It�s always the same story: People are guided too much by little-understood experience and make the wrong generalizations. Less experience can be advantageous when it forces you to think harder.

Subject: Decision

Author: W.H. Murray
Quote: Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would ne ver otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

Subject: Commitment

Author: Steve Jobs
Quote: Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything � all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already n|aked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

...No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
