The three things that motivate creative people – autonomy, mastery, purpose!
Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement.
When a manager openly expresses his faith in an employee’s skill, he doesn’t just improve mood and motivation; he actually improves their likelihood of succeeding.
The greatest competitive advantage in our modern economy is a positive and engaged brain.
Sit up straight, listen and participate.
Open, honest communication is the best foundation for any relationship, but remember that at the end of the day it’s not what you say or what you do, but how you make people feel that matters the most.
You go into flow when your highest strengths are deployed to meet the highest challenges that come your way.
There is one aspect of happiness that’s been well studied, and it’s the notion of flow. Ask yourselves, when for you does time stop? When are you truly at home, wanting to be no place else?
Successful social media marketing is not built on impressions. It is built on relationships.
Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.
Motivate them, train them, care about them and make winners out of them. We know if we treat our employees right, they’ll treat the customers right. And if customers are treated right, they’ll come back.
The best public policy is made when you are listening to people who are going to be impacted.
If I’m not saying ‘Hell Yeah!’ to something, then I say no.

First, you have to be visible in the community. You have to get out there and connect with people. It’s not called net-sitting or net-eating. It’s called networking. You have to work at it.
Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships. People, not programs, change people.
Employee engagement is an investment we make for the privilege of staying in business.
Don’t use social media to impress people; use it to impact people.
