The only beef Enron employees have with top management is that management did not inform employees of the collapse in time to allow them to get in on the swindle.

Just because your boss is a criminal doesn't make you a hero.

The mistake is that companies try to solve all their problems with pay.

Jeffrey Pfeffer

It's - everybody's looking at the bottom line all the time, and failure doesn't look good on the bottom line, and yet you don't learn anything without failing.

Alan Arkin

Management, in the sense of employer, is merely the agent for the public, the stockholders and the employees. It is management's job to preserve the balance fairly between all these interests, that each may have his fair share without imperiling the continuity of the effort upon which the whole depends.

James F. Bell, III

I think it's embarrassing for our industry that we have such low diversity across senior-level management at all of the mainstream, top-tier venture capital firms.
