Creativity is the PROCESS of having original IDEAS that have VALUE. It is a process; it's not RANDOM.

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the PEOPLE around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most FUNDAMENTAL thing about LEADERSHIP is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to TRY to get better - because your job is to try to HELP everybody else get better.

The DIFFICULTY lies not so much in developing new ideas as in ESCAPING from old ONES.

There's always IDEAS BUZZING around, but it's whether they actually END up materialising into a SONG.

You can have BRILLIANT IDEAS, but if you can't get them ACROSS, your ideas won't get you anywhere.

The world is STARVING for NEW IDEAS and GREAT leaders who will CHAMPION those ideas.

How MANY TIMES have you been out for a beer or DINNER and people are coming up with business ideas? Everybody WANTS to think they've got that great business idea.

Globalization MEANS we have to re-examine some of our ideas, and look at ideas from other COUNTRIES, from other cultures, and open ourselves to them. And that's not comfortable for the AVERAGE person.
