A Quote by Lawrence Bossidy

I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies. — © Lawrence Bossidy
I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies.
At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies.
At the end of the day, people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.
Look, at the end of the day people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.
There was nothing more dangerous than people convinced of their own good intentions.
Rather than dispute their shortcomings or hide their mistakes, resilient people are authentic. Their humble, self-aware approach assists them in developing strategies to become better.
There's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.
In terms of other people's perception of me, that's their business. There are people who I have never met but, for whatever reason, I am certain that these people are jack-offs. I've never met Billy Joel, but I'm absolutely convinced he's an asshole. I can't justify that opinion, that's just what I think. But my opinion about Billy Joel isn't going to affect him in the slightest. In the same way, I am sure there are people out there who are completely convinced that I am an asshole, for whatever reason. They might even feel more justified than I feel about my presumptive opinion of Billy Joel.
I am not convinced that the U.S. is more religious than Britain. Even if more people go to church in America, I think the U.S. is a much more secular country than Britain.
I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval.
Why are CEO's who slash jobs so proud of themselves? Instead of bragging about 'cutting fat,' they ought to be getting up before their employees and saying, We did such a lousy job of planning and hiring that we have more people than work. And we are so broke and so dim-witted that we can't come up with any way to get more work. So our only solution is to send a lot of good people home. I am ashamed and I am sorry.
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.
Love is the most universal experience. There is nothing more important than love, there is nothing more meaningful than love, and there is nothing more human in people's relationships than love.
I oftentimes receive the question, "What do you think is the most important social issue to focus on?" Or, "What's the most important component of identity? Is it gay rights or race or feminism?" And I'm like, "Well, they're all intertwined. It's all one conversation at the end of the day. You can't just pick one." I mean, people experience all kinds of prejudice because of all different parts of themselves. And that doesn't make one part more important than the other.
My brand was always going to be based on my personality. I didn't want people hiring me for what I said. I wanted them hiring me for who I am.
Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
Education, I am convinced, must be nothing more than this: The journey toward the limits of Reason, if any there be.
