“Jobs also used the meetings to enforce focus. At Robert Friedland's farm, his job had been to prune the apple trees so that they would stay strong, and that became a metaphor for his pruning at Apple. Instead of encouraging each group to let product lines proliferate based on marketing considerations, or permitting a thousand ideas to bloom, Jobs insisted that Apple focus on just two or three priorities at a time. " There is no one better at turning off the noise that is going on around him," Cook said. " That allows him to focus on a few things and say no to many things. Few people are really good at that.”

“The older I get, the more I see how much motivations matter. The Zune was crappy because the people at Microsoft don't really love music or art the way we do. We won because we personally love music. We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you're doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you're not going to cheese out. If you don't love something, you're not going to cheese out. If you don't love something, you're not going to cheese out. If you don't love something, you're not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.”

“If you are serious about having a virtual company with excellent culture, you must have the discipline to develop a hiring process that screens for culture matches and for the attributes of successful virtual workers. You can’t just hire for skills—that never translates to great culture.”

“...and it just pisses me off more. Like yeah, I cry when I watch those sad puppy videos too, but Gabriel's not actually a puppy abandoned by his owner. He's an upper middle-class Vermont kid who's parents business beats ours like ten months out of twelve. It's not my fault that emotionally, his about as stable as a cheap styrofoam cup.”

“In gathering data from more than five hundred people about their experience on more than one thousand teams, I have found a consistent reality: When there is a serious lack of clarity about what the team stands for and what their goals and roles are, people experience confusion, stress, and frustration. When there is a high level of clarity, on the other hand, people thrive. When there is a lack of clarity, people waste time and energy on the trivial many. When they have sufficient levels of clarity, they are capable of greater breakthroughs and innovations—greater than people even realize they ought to have—in those areas that are truly vital. In my work, I have noticed two common patterns that typically emerge when teams lack clarity of purpose. PATTERN 1: PLAYING POLITICS In the first pattern, the team becomes overly focused on winning the attention of the manager. The problem is, when people don’t know what the end game is, they are unclear about how to win, and as a result they make up their own game and their own rules as they vie for the manager’s favor. Instead of focusing their time and energies on making a high level of contribution, they put all their effort into games like attempting to look better than their peers, demonstrating their self-importance, and echoing their manager’s every idea or sentiment. These kinds of activities are not only nonessential but damaging and counterproductive.”

“The first step out of the gate has to be knowing where you want to end up. What do you really want from your company?”

“Work/life balance is not about escaping work. It’s about living exactly the way you want to when you’re at work.”

“True leaders live their values everywhere, not just in the workplace.”

“Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living.”

“Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone.”

“Success means: I want to know the work I do means something to somebody and helps make the world, if not a Better place, not a worse one.”

“Success for Managers means: I want to be in healthy relationships. I want a real connection with people I spend so much time with.”

“Your values are your essence: an undistorted mirror showing you at your pure, attractive best.”

“Careful now: even a financially rewarding, intellectually stimulating work environment isn’t the same as living your own values.”

“Let’s get right on top of the bottom line: You must live your personal values at work.”

“Management controls performance in people because it impacts skills; it’s a matter of monitoring, analyzing and directing.”

“Leadership creates performance in people because it impacts willingness; it’s a matter of modeling, inspiring, and reinforcing.”

“Any expert will tell you that if you want emotionally committed relationships then people must be allowed to be true to who they are.”

“Companies should be the best possible place to practice fulfillment, to live out values and to realize deep connectivity and purpose.”

“When you’re not on your own agenda, you’re prey to the agenda of others.”

“When you don’t know what true for you, everyone else has unusual influence.”

“Why live my personal values at work? This is an excellent question to ask. If your attorneys are planning an insanity defense.”

“This is your one and only precious life. Somebody’s going to decide how it’s going to be lived and that person had better be you.”

“Hard-core results come from igniting the massive power of emotional commitment. Are your people committed?”

“Do you think your people struggle with being true to themselves? Do their values match up with their work?”

“The heart of a company’s performance is hardwired to the hearts of its managers.”

“The high quality of a company’s customer experience rarely has anything to do with the high price of their product.”
