“Talent is the multiplier. The more energy and attention you invest in it, the greater the yield. The time you spend with your best is, quite simply, your most productive time.”
― Marcus Buckingham, First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

“War is sweet to those who have never fought.”
― Jess Rothenberg, The Catastrophic History of You and Me

“The Four Keys of Great Managers:

1. "When selecting someone, they select for talent ... not simply experience, intelligence or determination."
2. "When setting expectations, they define the right outcomes ... not the right steps."
3. "When motivating someone, they focus on strengths ... not on weaknesses."
4. "When developing someone, they help him find the right fit ... not simply the next rung on the ladder.”
― Marcus Buckingham

“War is always an adventure to those who've never seen it.”
― Anthony Ryan, Blood Song
