As every idea is important, no idea shall be lightly taken. If we deliver alot, we can and should expect alot. People come first, Programs come second, Profits come third. All are important but not equally. People are our lifeblood, Programs are our heart, Management is our spirit, and profit is our scorekeeper.
Profit is like oxygen to life .
It is not the point of life but without it there is no life. If the right choice and the easy choice conflict, choose what's right. Operational autonomy rests with Department Managers. Profits will follow. Then, try to bring out their best.
