William S. Knudsen One cannot walk through a mass production factory and not feel that one is in hell. . . . W. H. Auden Never give an order than can't be obeyed. . . . You do not lead by hitting people over the head that's assault, not leadership. . . . Dwight D. Eisenhower Keep things informal. Talking is the most natural way to do business.
Writing is for keeping records, but talk generates ideas. . . .
Ralph Waldo Emerson Don't be proud of dumb things. It's dumb to be proud of production records rather than products. It's dumb to be proud of a plant rather than the working conditions of your employees. It's dumb to flaunt your wealth and then try to tell employees that times are tough, vacations must be canceled, etc. It's dumb to ask employees to make any sacrifice you are not willing to make in kind. . . .
