Disney became hated. It became one of the evil corporations. It used to be loved. They couldn't hold onto talent they couldn't attract talent. Some of their products did badly.

We are all so preoccupied with ourselves. How can I get happy, how can I find the job I love, how can I become a millionaire, how can lose weight. Yet, the reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things.

Don't wait for perfection before you start. Start somewhere so you can have something tangible you can work to perfect.

Profit isn't a purpose, it's a result. To have purpose means the things we do are of real value to others.

Would anybody be offended if we gave a $150 million bonus to Gandhi? How about a $250 million bonus to Mother Teresa? Do we have an issue with that? None at all. None at all. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people.

The responsibility of leadership is not to come up with all the ideas but to create an environment in which great ideas can thrive.

Happy employees ensure happy customers. And happy customers ensure happy shareholders—in that order.
