Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive,
a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of
punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the
bureaucrat's tool is fear.
Ayn Rand

English proverb

I've always felt that a manager has achieved a great deal when he's able to motivate one
other person. When it comes to making the place run, motivation is everything. You might be

the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
Lee Iacocca

physical organization system must be better than your mental one in order for that to
happen.
David Allen

Every person is building a life and thus is really in business for themselves. Think of yourself
as a business; which you must increase. You must not concern yourself with the past but
with the present and future. You cannot go back and you cannot stand still. You must grow
or go.
Earl Nightingale

Don't open a shop unless you know how to smile.
Jewish proverb

The best organizations assign people to jobs in much the same way that sports coaches or
music teachers choose exercises for their students - to push them beyond their current
capabilities and build the skills that are most important.

himself.
