When Parents Are Confident That Their Children

When I Became Ceo Of Xerox 10 Years Ago, The Company's Situation Was Dire. Debt Was Mounting, The Stock Sinking And Bankers Were Calling. People Urged Me To Declare Bankruptcy, But I Felt Personally Responsible For Tens Of Thousands Of Employees.

I'm At The Gym At 6, So I'm Usually In My Office By 7:15. And I Try To Not Schedule A Lot Of Meetings Before 8. So I've Got That First Hour To Get Myself Organized For The Day And To Make Sure That I've Structured What I Want To Do.

When Parents Are Confident That Their Children Will Live, They Have Fewer Of Them. They Invest More In Each Child's Food, Health And Education.

I Left Xerox For The Non-profit Sector Because It Was Clear To Me That Only Public/private Partnerships Can Pull Off A Turnaround Plan At The Scale We Need To Tackle Global Poverty.

I Learned How To Be A Learner. When You Get In A Job, The Tendency Is To Say, 'i've Got To Know It. I've Got To Give Direction To Others. I'm In This Job Because I'm Better And Smarter.' I Always Took A Different View, That The Key Was To Identify The People Who Really Knew And Learn From Them.
