“Our companies don’t employ us because they love us. They never have and they never will. That’s not the job of a business.

Businesses don’t exist so we can have a place to go every day. The purpose of a business is to make money. To excel at a company, you’re going to have to understand how you fit into the business’s plan to make money.

…keeping you employed costs your company a significant amount of money. Your company is investing in you. Your challenge is to become an obviously good investment. …start to judge your own performance in terms of the business value you bring to the organization or [to the] customer who is employing you.”
