Advice from Ross Perot


Bits & Pieces, August, 20, 1992, p. 3

Advice from Ross Perot about how to treat your people:

"Never ask anyone to do what you haven't done before and wouldn't do again. That's a pretty fundamental rule in leadership...treat them like you treat yourself. Things you don't like, they don't like. You don't like to be jerked around, they don't either. You don't like to be talked down to, and they don't either. You would rather work with somebody than for somebody. So would they. You hate people who pound on your head after you gave everything you had and failed… It's that simple."
