This week’s quote is from Jim Collison: “People matter. … Sometimes we get too wrapped around the axle of performance, or numbers. And listen, those things are important. But, the way to work is through people. And I think if we can spend time developing what's best in people, and if we can spend time giving them the highest propensity to be successful in what they're doing, I don't know if there's a better way to do it”
