Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.
Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could.
If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.
