More quotes by Lewis Schiff
That doesn't mean we should be doing it, though. We should always be carving back those things that are comfortable and institutionalized but not necessarily impactful.
Lewis Schiff
I would have to say that my mother's entrepreneurial perspective, and that of her father's, are very evident in my own outlook.
Lewis Schiff
Harkening back to a story about my grandfather, I was lucky to attend a great high school in New York, Bronx High School of Science, which has produced more Nobel prize winners than any other high school in America.
Lewis Schiff
MBA programs are underwritten by large companies and they succeed at producing future employees of large companies. In that regard, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.
Lewis Schiff
One of the things all entrepreneurs struggle with is where their efforts will have the highest impact. Unfortunately, too many of us continue to do the very same things that led to our initial success because we're good at it and we've created and invested in systems to support them
Lewis Schiff
I believe in labeling things.
Lewis Schiff
In companies, there are three activities that should be labeled better. First there is the CORE which is the thing the company does that its customers pay it to do.
Lewis Schiff
I grew up in a modern business environment and did not experience the kind of prejudice that my mother and grandfather experienced.
Lewis Schiff
The problem is not the sentiment, it's the execution. When a company makes a mistake, the individual benefits because they've learned how NOT to do something while the institution had to pay for the mistake.
Lewis Schiff
I believe that only a subset of us is meant to lead. The rest want to follow.
Lewis Schiff
I've got better things to do than to find my individuality in that particular area. But if it's important to me, I've got to seek my own path.
Lewis Schiff
While I did complete high school, I would have to say that it was by the skin of my teeth. My education ever since then has been one that I got on the job and I consider myself a very well-educated person at this point!
Lewis Schiff
By the time I entered this prestigious high school, my interest in formal education had already been exhausted.
Lewis Schiff
My fighting spirit has often seemed out of place.
Lewis Schiff
Apple makes computers and they have to be great at providing the product they promised every individual who wants to purchase from them. This is where they should spend the bulk of their energy.
Lewis Schiff
I went to work at political consulting firms, graphic design and communications firms and ultimately, magazines. Today, my career is in the media business. And more specifically, I'm in the words side of the business as opposed to video or music.
Lewis Schiff
I did in fact take a couple of classes at my local college here in NYC. But I did it unwillingly and without enthusiasm. That is until a protest broke out in the streets around campus against rising tuition costs.
Lewis Schiff
Apple made tools that helped people express their creativity and Steve Jobs knew that so he told that story well. But Facebook makes tools that help people connect and Mark Zuckerberg is hardly a story-teller. Nevertheless, he's become a leader because his products do such a good job of solving a problem.
Lewis Schiff
I also believe that at a critical point (more than six people?), that collective wisdom turns into group think.
Lewis Schiff
One of the easiest ways to solve your problems is to look at how others have solved a similar problem. So, in this regard, we are using the same thinking of others.
