Quotes:
“It’s like a new pair of shoes. If you have to have the current pair of shoes, they become obsolete in six months. Why not wait six months and buy a great pair of shoes? It’s the same thing in leadership. If you keep changing just to change, you’ll be obsolete very quickly.” - Jim Robinson, (3:47)

“We don’t need more rules. We need a few rules. What if you get rid of all the rules? Chaos ensues and you become obsolete. So it’s really important we pay attention to what noise is versus what the fundamentals are. If you shut out all that noise, you’re going to win.” - Jim Robinson, (14:11)

“I need all that diversity and different levels of education so we can drive a result for our buyer or client. We’ve always practiced that. We didn’t create a new set of rules to say, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do on this.’ It’s been at our very core that we are diverse in what we do.” - Jim Robinson, (24:43)

“If you don’t get your core values right, it’s a starting point for your company, but a stopping point for the growth of your employees. You have to make sure your core values are clearly defined…Make sure they’re not a stumbling point, but a growth point.” - Jim Robinson, (30:51)
