Managers: Beware the ceremonial meetings that do nothing more than celebrate the 'bossness' of the boss.
The greatest management sin is wasting people's time.
Great achievements are so often preceded by great failures.

"Police brutality"?! I didn't burn, loot, steal or stab - no "brutality" for me. Good job #VPD and #Canucks. I still believe.
In business, don't be afraid of conflict or controversy - both are bursting with potential benefits.
Seek to have outcome and actions reflect as closely as possible to the intentions you hold within.
