Quotes:



\\u201cIf we can at least try to articulate why we\'re about to do what we\'re going to do and then repeat it, rehearse it, reframe it, recolor it, we will slowly get more people to adopt it rather than the militaristic do it because I\'m the authority figure.\\u201d - Curt Tueffert


\\u201cAlways be on time to communicate when you\'re not going to be on time and make sure you always show up.\\u201d - Jon Tsourakis


\\u201cOne thing is for us to go through change personally, but the other thing is actually for us to lead the change.\\u201d - Denis Gianoutsos
