You like strategy. I like execution. You like big gestures. I like small gestures. You worry about disruption. I worry about the next five minutes. You like systems. I like people. You like to β€œtell it like it is.” I like kindness. ...
You like β€œIt’s your job.” I like β€œThanks for the extra effort.” You like to β€œget down to business.” I like to see how folks are doing. You like your office. I like the shop floor. You like people β€œwho get to the point.” I like people who think before they open their mouth.
You think sustainability is an issue. I think sustainability is THE issue. You think β€œwe gotta take more cost out.” I think β€œwe gotta add more value.” You want to β€œhammer the competition.” I want us all to succeed by doing great work.
You think β€œwe pay our taxes.” I think our responsibility to the community is enormousβ€”taxes are but a first step. You think β€œwe need to work on the gender issue.” I think we must commit to 50-50 boards and exec teams within 36 months.
