Text Quotes
Certainty is no guarantor of correctness  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) If I have to spend a lot of time on planes, I try to think of this as time off. In certain ways, it’s more restful than home: no Internet, no phones, no interruptions.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Companies don’t have ideas. Only people do  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Those in powerless positions aren’t about to complain about bullying bosses, abusive supervisors or corrupt co-workers. There is no safe way to do so and no process that promises redress  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) If the company depends entirely on you - your creativity, ingenuity, inspiration, salesmanship or charisma - nobody will want to buy it. The risk and the dependency are too great  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) On overnight flights, I have trained myself to get to sleep almost instantly after takeoff. I always listen to the same audiobook on my iPod so my brain knows, regardless of time zone, that that voice means it’s time for bed  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Big data will never give you big ideas... Big data doesn’t facilitate big leaps of the imagination. It will never conjure up a PC revolution or any kind of paradigm shift. And while it might tell you what to aim for, it can’t tell you how to get there  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Business is not a science; it is not susceptible to experiments that can be controlled and replicated. Everything in business is too unpredictable for that - every business, employee, product, market is different and keeps changing  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Many CEOs and leaders think that silence is indeed golden, that consensus is bliss. It is - sometimes. But more often what it signifies is that there are no respected processes for surfacing concerns and dissent  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) As long as they are well-intentioned, mistakes are not a matter for shame but for learning  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) I’m all for ambition and stretch goals. I set them for myself. But leadership isn’t the same as cheerleading. Believing in something is a necessary but absolutely insufficient condition for making it come true.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) As a mother, I work hard every day and I expect that work to be recognized and appreciated. Because I work for and with human beings, sometimes they’re grateful and sometimes they aren’t.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Clearing your head of distractions in order to notice and understand the people you are with can feel inefficient - there are so many other people and issues to think about. But being present makes you effective.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Speaking is what most people work on. They forget the thinking and the breathing and instead try to occupy space with sound.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) I don’t think a true company - one that builds sustainable value - can ever only exist online or remotely.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Very few entrepreneurs start their business on the back of market research. Instead, they have tremendous zeitgeist, honed by paying attention to where they are.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) When you use words loosely, without care and consideration, you erode trust in yourself and in what you’re saying. When you squander words, you diminish your power.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Research shows that when we read words on paper, it reduces our stress levels by nearly 70 percent. We also read more carefully than on tablets or laptops.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) The cell phone has become the adult’s transitional object, replacing the toddler’s teddy bear for comfort and a sense of belonging.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) The truth won’t set us free - until we develop the skills and the habit and the talent and the moral courage to use it.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) Companies don’t have ideas. Only people do. And what motivates people are the bonds of loyalty and trust they develop around each other.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) I don’t mind if the couple next to me is tense or the kids are whiny. I’d even be happy to hear an honest argument, evidence of thinking. I’d like to know these teeth-perfect families don’t just buy each other stuff but just occasionally can talk to one another.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) In our house, Mother’s Day is every day. Father’s Day, too. In our house, parents count. They do important work and that work matters. One day just doesn’t cut for us.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) The best remote companies I’ve seen do almost everything online, via email and telephone. But they also get together face to face on a regular basis.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) A great advantage of a large corporation is supposed to be the large pool of talent in which its leaders can find and groom high achievers and successors.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) The vast literature concerning whistleblowers shows that, far from weird extremists, they are really quite ordinary people: male and female, young and old, junior and senior, no more nerdy or obsessive than most hard workers.  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) British innovation in design, in the creative arts, in engineering and manufacturing is world class  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) The healthiest companies are always characterized by organic talent development  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) We have to see conflict as thinking and then get really good at it  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes) You cannot fix a problem that you refuse to acknowledge  (Margaret Heffernan Quotes)
