Words of Wisdom on Employees

Over the years, I've had the privilege of observing many successful leaders execute a variety of strategies in their quest for success. The most effective tactic I have ever witnessed is the simple and constant application of expectations, accountability, and consequences!
~ Harry K. Jones, professional speaker and consultant

Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them, and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss.
~ Lee Iacocca, Chrysler Corp.

I don't think I'm the primary motivator. I give people license to be themselves and motivate others in that way. We give people the opportunity to be a maverick. You don't have to fit into a constraining mold at work―you can have a good time.
~ Herb Kelleher, Chairman, Southwest Airlines

Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals.
