I don't hear anything from Trump about tax increases. I hear tax cuts from him. I hear tax reform from him.
The only thing of real importance that leader do is to create and manage culture
The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture. If you do not manage culture, it manages you, and you may not even be aware of the extent to which this is happening.
Culture is the deeper level of basic assumptions and beliefs that are shared by members of an organization, that operate unconsciously and define in a basic 'taken for granted' fashion an organization's view of its self and its environment.
A pattern of shared basic assumptions invented, discovered, or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integration that have worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel in relation to those problems.
Leadership is the ability to step outside the culture to start evolutionary change processes that are more adaptive.
In most organizational change efforts, it is much easier to draw on the strengths of the culture than to overcome the constraints by changing the culture.
Why must I run against a Negro? We have had enough of Negroes running against and fighting with each other. The better bet is that we would put a Muslim candidate in the field against a devil, somebody who is against all we stand for.
I don't know if I would go so far to say that I would punch someone in the face, but I would definitely stand up for my lady. But sometimes it's more attractive to use your words than your fists.
Who. . . is not familiar with Maxwell's memoirs on his dynamical theory of gases?. . . from one side enter the equations of state; from the other side, the equations of motion in a central field. Ever higher soars the chaos of formulae. Suddenly we hear, as from kettle drums, the four beats 'put n=5. ' The evil spirit v vanishes; and. . . that which had seemed insuperable has been overcome as if by a stroke of magic. . . One result after another follows in quick succession till at last. . . we arrive at the conditions for thermal equilibrium together with expressions for the transport coefficients.
When I was a kid, I thought I would be an action-movie hero. I was like, "They're gonna be able to CGI my legs by that point. " And then I realized that it was probably better if I stayed a little closer to who I actually am rather than trying to be Bruce Willis.
