The Decision Maker

"Skills and talent are important, but they take a back seat to the way a person reacts to the company’s lived values." -- Dennis W. Bakke

Everyone must get advice before making a decision. If you don’t seek advice, “you’re fired.” #leadership

A joy-filled workplace gives people the freedom to use their talents and skills for the benefit of society, without being crushed/controlled

The key to good organizational leadership is restraint in making decisions of importance.

Intelligence and education are not as important as a culture that treats people of every background as creative, responsible and trustworthy
