David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) says
“Stop hoarding the insignificant.”
“The single best way to develop leaders... is to take people out of their safe environment and away from the people they know, and throw them into a new arena they know little about. Way over their head, preferably. In fact, the more demanding their challenges, the more pressure and risk they face, the more likely a dynamic leader will emerge.”
“People calculate too much and think too little.”
“The death knell for any enterprise is to glorify the past -- no matter how good it was.”
“Humanity is at a crossroads. We can continue down the current path of greed, consumerism, oligarchy, poverty, war, racism, and environmental degradation. Or we can lead the world in moving in a very different direction.”
“”You’ve worn me down” is an awful decision-making process. It’s slow and de-energizing. Go for quick escalation instead – it’s better.”
“We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.”
“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.”
