Quotes to ponder:

"Keeping workers on tight leashes and constantly interrupting them ruins their ability to find thoughtful, profitable ways to do their jobs."

"If you’re so distrustful of your employees, then why did you hire them in the first place?"

"When it comes down to the bottom line, you simply have to push every responsibility you can down to the lowest possible level."
