Ursula Burns Quotes

Xerox is really good at managing documents, and we’re definitely good at managing through a process Picture Quote #1

I’m less concerned about whether being a good corporate citizen burnishes a company’s reputation. That’s just an added benefit. I believe it’s a responsibility, and there is no negotiating on responsibilities Picture Quote #1

I’m an advocate for change and eager to break a little glass when needed, Picture Quote #1

As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve come to appreciate - and really value - the other attributes that define a company’s success beyond the P Picture Quote #1

Find something that you love to do, and find a place that you really like to do it in. I found something I loved to do. I’m a mechanical engineer by training, and I loved it. I still do. My son is a nuclear engineer at MIT, a junior, and I get the same vibe from him. Your work has to be compelling. You spend a lot of time doing it Picture Quote #1

I don’t think paper will go away. I do believe that the value of paper will change, and Xerox is working on changing that value. Consider a color page. Actual life is in color, but you keep reproducing it in black and white. You remove value. It’s a bad thing to do Picture Quote #1

In the beginning of your career, you’re focused on you: ‘I like this place because I’m doing rewarding work; they take good care of me; the people are nice; there’s runway for me,’ etc Picture Quote #1

This old notion that work is drudgery is nonsense. Most days, even back when Xerox was under siege, I could not wait to get to the office Picture Quote #1

Xerox is really good at managing documents, and we’re definitely good at managing through a process Picture Quote #1

Admiration takes on a whole new level when you appreciate just how complex it is to run a modern business Picture Quote #1

I say to my team all the time that this is how I grew up: Always thinking that, at any minute, I could be unemployed. You have to scramble. You have to work hard and get ahead of things Picture Quote #1

The best way to change it is to do it, right? And then after a while you become it, and it’s easy Picture Quote #1
