--Alexander Hamilton

to seduce.”
--William Safire
Lesson 2: 1979
Learn how to communicate
• Learn how to speak
• Learn how to write
“The elaborate and technological civilization that we must operate
. . . requires millions of people able to construct and follow
discursive thought. It demands widespread competence in little
things as well as great, habits of precision, to be learned only
through a mastery of the symbol system of language. ”
“Ruly behavior expresses a ruly mind, and the
discipline of word and thought provides the discipline of deed.”
Less than Words Can Say Richard Mitchell
Lesson 3: 1980
Don’t be emotionally impulsive
or act foolishly
There are some things
at which you don’t get
a second chance.
Regarding e-mail:
the purpose is to transmit information—
not to transmit emotion.
Ask yourself if you will regret sending.
Be Careful what you Post
Lesson 3: 1980
Don’t be emotionally
impulsive or act foolishly
Lesson 4: 1981
Figure it out
Not everything
is in a textbook.
“The content of most textbooks is
perishable, but the tools of self-
directness serve one well over time.”
--Albert Bandura
Lesson 5: 1982
Enforce compliance/uniformity
This is not Burger King®.
You cannot do it your way.
Corollary: Eliminate excuses for
non-compliance and lack of uniformity.
”An important task of the manager
is to reduce his people’s excuses for failure.”

Lesson 6: 1983
Hold people accountable
Accountable vs. Victim Behaviors
Lesson 7: 1984
Learn what to delegate
“As usually presented, delegation makes little
sense. If it means that somebody else ought to do
part of “my work,” it is wrong. One is paid for doing
one’s own work. And if it implies, as the usual
sermon does, that the laziest manager is the best
manager, it is not only nonsense; it is immoral.”
--Peter Drucker

It will warm you twice.”
--Henry Ford

long before facing tough judgment calls.
Character also means putting the greater
good of the organization ahead of self-
interest.”

• Seek first to understand, then to be understood
• Synergy
• Sharpen the Saw
Lesson 14: 1991
Set the bar high
(for others)
“It is the nature of man to rise
to greatness if greatness is
expected of him.”
-- John Steinbeck
Lesson 14: 1991
Set the bar high
(for others)
“My mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier,
you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll
end up as the pope.’ Instead. I became a painter
and wound up as Picasso.”
-- Pablo Picasso
Lesson 14: 1991
Set the bar high
(for yourself)
“There is always some kid
who may be seeing me for
the first or last time--
I owe him my best."
-- Joe DiMaggio
Lesson 14: 1991
Set the bar high
(for yourself)
“One night we had a game that I didn’t think was that
big, and Jim Simpson said to me, ‘It’s a big game to
those kids and coaches who are playing.’ And I
always try to keep that in mind and make sure I make
every game special. That really came home when I
realized people were paying attention to what I was
saying."
-- Dick Vitale
Lesson 15: 1992
Work horizontally
“Whenever possible, information
should go directly from sender to receiver.”
--Donald L Kirkpatrick
“In the case of arguments with your colleagues,
it is usually better policy to settle your differences
‘out of court,’ rather than to take them higher
for arbitration.”
--W.J.King
“When you are dissatisfied with the service of
another department, make your complaint to the
individual most directly responsible for the
function involved. Complaints made to an
individual’s supervisors, over his or her head,
engender strong resentment and should be
resorted to only when direct appeal fails. In
many cases such complaints are made without
giving the individual a fair chance to correct the
grievance, or even before he or she is aware of
any dissatisfaction.”
--W.J.King
Lesson 15: 1992
Work horizontally
Lesson 16: 1993
Embrace diversity
“People may be said to resemble not the bricks of which
a
house is built, but the pieces of a picture puzzle, each
differing in shape, but matching the rest, and thus
bringing
out the picture.”
-- Felix Adler
“Diversity initially began as a topic of conversation that
focused heavily on race, gender, and ethnicity. Today, it
goes beyond those protected groups. Things like
diversity
in problem-solving, single versus married, children
versus
no children, high wealth and low wealth, political
Lesson 16: 1993
Embrace diversity
(with caveat—still
need to perform)
“I’m good with you
coming out of
the closet. It’s
your curveball
that I’m having
trouble accepting.”
Lesson 17: 1994
Measure of success:
Not fewer problems, but
are the problems getting
More sophisticated?
Lesson 18: 1995
Read inspirational quotations
You don’t have to be wise; you
just need to recognize wisdom.
“ I love quotations because it is a joy to find
thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed
with much authority by someone recognized
wiser than oneself.”
--Marlene Dietrich
"Be as smart as you can, but
remember that it is always
better to be wise than to be
smart."

Know the difference between “Leader” and
“leader” (Big “L” and little “l”)
“I want to know everything I can about leadership. Because I
don’t believe leaders are born. I don’t believe you spring
fully armored out of the head of Athena to slay Hector in
battle. I believe leaders choose to lead at some point in
their life. And it’s because they have a call to action. They
have a calling. They have something they want to make
happen. They choose to be part of a change that they want
to see in the world going around them, and they choose to
step forward, and they choose to take the risk of leadership.”
--A.G. Lafley Leadership is a choice, not a position.
“I always wondered why somebody
didn’t do something about that.
Then I realized I was somebody.”
--Lily Tomlin
