Quotable Quotes:

• Let’s make all of our decisions towards the employees. How do we benefit the employees? How do we make sure they trust the company?
• I want to raise shareholder value. And I think the best way to raise shareholder value is to treat those employees the best you can so they can feel safe. They can feel secure because, in the end, they’re going to stay with the company.
