Nothing's Perfectt
From Mike Duke, CEO of WalMart
"I don't know that there's a business model that says, 'You're going to empower the organization. You're going to experiment. You're going to change and try new things all the time, but you're not going to make any mistakes,'" Duke says.

Gut Feeling
Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, made 2 brilliant personnel decisions in 2000: hiring Belichick as the Patriots head coach and de facto general manager and drafting Tom Brady in the 6th round that year. Nobody else in the league wanted either. Why did Kraft pick them up? "My gut," Kraft says without pause. "That's how the best things in my life have happened."

What a BRILLIANT Leader!
From Reuters on 10/25/10:
In the current subdued consumer environment, retailers need to resist the temptation to focus solely on cutting costs, said Mindy Grossman, chief executive of U.S. teleshopping and e-commerce group HSN Inc (HSNI.O).
"That's not going to get us anywhere," she said, arguing that tougher times made it more important for firms to invest in new products and new ways of appealing to shoppers.
"We have so many opportunities to reach the customer, whether it's in a physical environment, on television, online, mobile, social (network sites). There is more access than at any given point in history -- we just have to do it in a way that makes them excited and makes them want to engage."
