Quotes by Mike Hayes (?)

“We each have to own responsibility for the outcome, and take on as much of the burden as we can. We each have to look for problems and then solve them, and look for opportunities to take advantage of. We have to treat the challenges of our teammates and coworkers as our challenges, too, and step in to help wherever we are able to. The entire mission belongs to all of us.”
