Innovation is hard because solving problems people didn't know they had & building something no one needs look identical at first.
Opportunity lives at the intersection of what people need tomorrow and can be just barely built today.
If people don't think the odds are against you, you're doing it wrong.
I think bad politics are incredibly dangerous, so it's important to make sure that people are communicating well. Culture and morale are super important. It's best to not force it, but let it happen organically and genuinely.
I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.
I think people are always able to achieve more than they think they can. While that’s cliche, I don’t know if managers think about that enough. You have to set your sights extremely high.

If you don't go to every level of your company, you distance yourself from the marketplace and from your people.
