(As transcribed by yours truly to a note card from the back of his book in the book section of the Brown Elephant thrift store in Wrigleyville, Chicago IL)
- Control your destiny, or someone else will.
- Face reality as it is, not as you wish it were.
- Be candid with everyone.
- Don’t manage. Lead.
- Change before you have to.
- If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.
Hm.
