Executives Quotations
Executives Quotes from:
-
Closely Quotes
One of the great things about Silicon Valley is, irrespective of how competitive you might be with another company or how closely you might be working with that company, there's a great sort of give and take, and camaraderie from - between - some of the executives in the valley and some of the other investors in the valley.
-
Developing Quotes
As I start to think about what I want to do next, there are eight or nine networks I would be thrilled to work with. I remember developing at FX and the executives there telling me, 'We don't want to do shows that 20 million people kind of like; we want to do the show that 2 million people really like.' That's such a refreshing thing to hear.
-
Artists Quotes
My respect for artists is very high. I think to get the most out of them, you have to liberate them. I think part of liberating them is saying, 'Come up with something brilliant, new, and fresh. Stop thinking based on what has been beat into you by executives or publishers in terms of what's going to work and what's not. Don't react, just act.'
-
Allowed Quotes
Under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a company is not allowed to provide a personal benefit to a decision maker in return for business. But hiring the sons and daughters of powerful executives and politicians is hardly just the province of banks doing business in China: it has been a time-tested practice here in the United States.
-
Guy Quotes
By the time I got to the point where I was 'starring' in movies, and I had executives telling me what lines to say, that wasn't for me. I'm really not an actor. I'm a guy who comes out of comedy, and my impetus was always to rewrite the line to make it funnier, not to try to make somebody's precious words work.
-
Aware Quotes
As an economist specializing in the global economy, international trade and debt, I have spent most of my career helping others make big decisions - prime ministers, presidents and chief executives - and so I'm all too aware of the risks and dangers of poor choices in the public as well as the private sphere.
-
Chief Quotes
I doubt very much that the chief executives of any of the Fortune 500 corporations can name five edible plants, five native grasses, or five migratory birds within walking distance of their homes, or name the soil series upon which their house sits. And I would contend that if you don't know where you are, you are in fact nowhere at all.
-
Among Quotes
The perception among C-suite executives that the global economy is getting stronger should be a hopeful indicator for global business. As optimism for the global economic climate improves, top executives are more apt to focus on improving their own businesses by spending for programs that might have been curtailed or postponed and by hiring new employees to carry out their growth plans.
-
Building Quotes
With today's appointments, we are leveraging exceptional management talent and experience with two of our most important strategic priorities, namely, the continuing transformation of our direct-selling channel and the building of the Avon brand. These seasoned executives will play critical roles in enabling Avon to unleash the potential of our unique business model.
-
Average Quotes
When every fifth child in New York City lives in a home that doesn't have enough food, it is clear that New York City is facing a hunger crisis. You could fill Yankee Stadium more than seven times with these children. Such numbers should be a wakeup call for government leaders, business executives and average residents alike.
-
Belief Quotes
We were always working overtime, throwing things together. Every first year is always hectic enough, because you have producers and network executives fighting it out over what they think you should do. With all the belief that science fiction was just not meant for TV, they didn't understand what they had until it was too late-and by then they had a hit show, the highest rated sci-fi show of all time on network television!
-
Affected Quotes
The only way the gender divide affected me was the social things the younger guy executives could do with their bosses. I don't know what went on in the clubs, because I didn't go. I made sure my work was stellar, and that compensated for whatever social time we weren't spending together.
-
Beatty Quotes
When Warren Beatty needed extra money from the studio, he came in as Warren Beatty, the movie star. I've seen grown studio executives turn into little boys when a star enters the room. Let's face it, if you're in a room talking with George Clooney about his movie, it's a lot different than talking with someone who's directed a bunch of music videos.
-
Balance Quotes
Senior executives may find themselves facing decisions other pre-retirees don't need to consider. For instance, they may have a large portion of their net worth invested in employer stock and still feel strong ties to that employer. And for former executives who have a great deal of their net worth tied up in stock options, this can pose a dilemma: how can they balance their need to diversify with their desire to maintain involvement with the company and benefit from its future success?
-
Accuracy Quotes
Mirapoint's multi-layered approach to spam, including its unique MailHurdle technology, was the ideal solution for Jayman's spam problem. By blocking spam at the edge of the network, then filtering for content, Mirapoint demonstrated high accuracy rates -- ensuring executives aren't spending hours each day searching for 'lost' email. The simplicity of an appliance with robust user controls and high accuracy rates made the switch to Mirapoint nearly invisible to end-users. All they noticed was better email.
-
Auto Quotes
Miller has chosen, for whatever reason, to be the bell ringer for (concessions for) the next five years. He's been pretty outspoken. Auto executives have been dancing around this for a while, but they're not saying anything. They're sitting back and will reap the rewards. They sent the messenger and will reap the rewards.
-
Ability Quotes
My ability to make decisions and think about the good of the Department of Defense as a senior executive in the Department of the Navy would not have happened but for I had time in OSD. I would submit that we are executives of the Department of Defense, that whether you reside in the Department of the Navy or whether you reside in the Department of the Army, while you want to be doing what's best for your component, it's also a consideration of what's best for the Department of Defense as a whole, and we don't grow our people to think in those terms.
-
Applying Quotes
I found Hollywood pretty bruising and uncreative. The executives are all in thrall to the boss, and spend their times double-guessing him or her, and trying to remember what he/she said and then applying them to the script, whether it was useful or not. They're all in fear for their jobs.
-
Against Quotes
I don't understand executives that pit women against each other, the fact that they brought in 'Body of Proof,' Dana Delaney is a friend of mine, and the two of us were just rolling our eyes, it's like, of course, you finally have two great female leads and you're going to put us on against each other.
-
Advisory Quotes
We are extremely pleased to have Don join as Founding Member of the Technical Advisory Board, and look forward to working with him and the other distinguished technology executives who will soon join the board. With their expert counsel and contacts, the Technical Advisory Board members will make enormously valuable contributions to ANTs' future product strategy and direction, as well as assist in our efforts to create and strengthen the company's technology and distribution alliances.
-
Attracted Quotes
The overwhelming success of this year's event shows the continued momentum we are experiencing in this space. It was exciting to see the number of executives interested in improving their pricing processes. Overall, this year's event attracted a diverse group of corporations and organizations representing over 25 industries.
-
Based Quotes
It is clear, based on the Court's ruling today, that Siebel Systems did not violate the spirit or letter of Regulation FD. We contested the SEC's claims in order to exonerate the company and its executives and to bring clarity to an important issue that was mishandled by the regulators. This was a win not only for Siebel but for all public companies trying to do the right thing.
