Many of my staff have been with me for over 20 years. I have a great team, and I make sure they feel respected and appreciated.
Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.
You have to manage money. Particularly with market economies. You may have a great product, but if your bottom line goes bust, then that's it.
My parents were both born and raised in the Depression. They instilled great values about integrity and the importance of hard work, and I've taken that with me to every job.
I have worked for a lot of really great leaders and mentors that I felt provided me, along with many of my peers - many of them women - opportunities.
We see great growth in the United States. But also in China, Brazil, the U.K., and other markets around the world. So ecommerce is going to continue to be a great story for Walmart.
I demand pretty aggressive goal setting and a commitment to measured progress towards those goals because I don't like surprises. I don't even like good surprises.
There's this joy that comes from sitting down to solve a problem and standing up when it's done and good. Building a company or managing people is never just done.
I guess that's one achievement I'm really proud of. Saving Chrysler was more than jobs, more than shareholder value. Saving Chrysler was a good idea for the whole country.
The hardest part of anything is making a dish consistently great - you order it seven years later, if it's still on the menu, and it's still as good as what you remember.
There are a lot of good ideas that could benefit from big media. You have a lot of companies that hit a wall and can't get beyond a certain level. They need the infrastructure and distribution of a large company.
I'm less concerned about whether being a good corporate citizen burnishes a company's reputation. That's just an added benefit. I believe it's a responsibility, and there is no negotiating on responsibilities.
It is not good to demonstrate your luxury and your wealth: to rub it in the faces of others is insulting. So you should be modest; try not to insult people by showing that you can do what they cannot.
Make no mistake about it, my friends - Republicans, the American people are never going to forget that it was you who shut down the government of the people.
I see no point in exchanging something that I understand, know, love and think will have a great future for something else that I know much less about.
It's fair to characterise me as competitive and determined, but anyone who works with me will attest to the fact I believe very strongly in the notion of servant leadership.
At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.
I'd like to see where boys and girls end up if they get equal encouragement - I think we might have some differences in how leadership is done.
Passion is what adds so much value to life. And if you think about the things that you do, there's so much juice potential for them if you do it.
One of the things I teach my children is that I have always invested in myself, and I have never stopped learning, never stopped growing.
Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.
