Harvey Mackay
Image
Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
Harvey Mackay
Image
You learn when you listen. You earn when you listen - not just money, but respect.

Your past is not your potential.
Harvey Mackay
Image
If you believe, as I do, that your employees truly are your most valuable asset, you will do whatever you can to help them do their jobs as well as possible.
