- Q. What about leading others?
  A. A lot of it is just picking the right team and just picking people so much better than you are, and involving them in a decision. Everybody on my team — I couldn’t do their jobs. I could not. I really mean that. So I figured out early on that the way you’re successful is you hire really successful people.
- Q. And how do you give feedback?
  A. I have the puppy theory. When the puppy pees on the carpet, you say something right then because you don’t say six months later, “Remember that day, January 12th, when you peed on the carpet?”

- - People say, “Oh, we don’t have politics.” Everybody has politics.
  - I always have dinner with them because I want to find out if I’m thinking, after that first glass of wine, how can I get out of here? I have to be able to make it through a dinner.
  - It also turns out that I’m an introvert. You would not believe that, would you? And I know I am because introverts have to refuel by being alone. Extroverts — Bill Clinton’s a famous extrovert — have to go to a party. At the end of the day, he comes home tired, and he wants to party. I come home. I suck my thumb and don’t talk to me. I learned how to get down time. Even an hour by myself feeds me.

- downturn was just a temporary truce; the battle is about to erupt again in full force
- With so many companies focused on simple survival during the downturn, with so much job loss and anxiety among those who survived, it was easy to forget about the war for top talent. But the downturn was just a temporary truce; the battle is about to erupt again in full force

- - According to a recent study just 10% of high-potential leaders lost their jobs during the recession
  - But fewer than usual received promotions or moved to new companies
  - So at the first sign that the job market is heating up, many will be dusting off their resumes and seeking greener pastures.
  - survivors, especially the most talented of them, understandably feel absolutely no loyalty to their current employers
  - If you aren't already highly focused on how you will retain your best talent in the next couple of years, you should be.
  - What about companies that did a good job of managing talent during the recession? Are they in the clear? Well yes and no.
  - the good news is that this company's high-potential leaders harbor strong loyalty and are inclined to stay. The bad news for the company, and others like it, is that they will be very attractive recruiting grounds for firms that didn't do such a good job during the dark times.

- You have to be able to roll up your sleeves and be confident that you can at least understand the problem and then offer thoughts that are action-oriented.
- you see how they have done in marketing, sales, HR, finance et al.

- - Once you empower some people will pick up the ball others will wait on the side line to be told what to do.
  - you have to see if they have been able to build a team wherever they have had the leadership position.
  - But you can’t ignore the artisan aspect of programming so today we also have the best coder contest where almost 12000-15000 employees participate.
