Quotes by Bruna Martinuzzi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Hire people who are smarter than you are—whose talents surpass yours—and give them opportunities for growth. It's the smart thing to do and it is a sign of high personal humility.”
Bruna Martinuzzi, The Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow

“When someone has wronged you, continue to treat them with civility. It’s the ultimate mark of a mensch.”
Bruna Martinuzzi, The Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow

“Something interesting happens when we approach situations from a perspective of humility—it opens us up to possibilities as we choose open-mindedness and curiosity over protecting our point of view. We spend more time in that wonderful space of the 'beginner's mind,' willing to learn from what others have to offer. This translates into moving away from pushing to allowing, from insecure to secure, from seeking approval to seeking enlightenment.”
Bruna Martinuzzi, The Leader as a Mensch: Become the Kind of Person Others Want to Follow

“If it has a staple in it it doesn't get read. Never walk into a presentation without a one-page summary.”
Bill Jensen

“A man only learns in two ways, one by reading, and the other by association with smarter people. ”
Will Rogers

“If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.”
Thomas A. Edison

“Be gentle with the earth.”
Dalai Lama

“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.”
Ken Robinson, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
