“The most dangerous kind of waste is
the waste we do not recognize.”
Shigeo Shingo
(Toyota)
Outstanding Leaders go out of their
way to boost the self-esteem of their

themselves, it’s amazing what they can
accomplish…”
Sam Walton
I’ve never found an important
decision made by a great organization
that was made at a point of

risk and inevitably some will oppose it.
In these situations, the great legislative
leader must be artful in handling
uncomfortable decisions, and this
requires rigor… ”
