“This is not high school; we strive to be a world-class organization. We can't tolerate your unpreparedness anymore. Unprepared participants are dead weight.”

“All we need to know is the decision and the resulting action plan.”
― Al Pittampalli, Read This Before Our Next Meeting

“With too much time, even the most unshakable decision will be reconsidered. Arguments turn circular; the same points occur over and over again without more real information being added to the debate. More time leads to more doubt. More doubt leads to more anxiety. More anxiety makes the decision fall apart.”
― Al Pittampalli, Read This Before Our Next Meeting
