“The worst thing you can do is try to manipulate or control perceptions...” — John Gerzema Quote

“The worst thing you can do is try to manipulate or control perceptions. It's impossible, and when you are found out the result is disastrous. Better to be transparent and play well with others so that when bad things happen you have a reservoir of good will to bank on.”

“Everywhere, people are beginning to question masculine notions of control, aggression and black-and-white thinking - and instead are favoring more empathetic, nurturing and collaborative approaches.”

“Businesses have to make gestures that go beyond words. Persuasion no longer works.”

“When you try to do too many things, that's when bad things happen.”

“If the Barbarians are destroyed, who will we then be able to blame for the bad things?”

“You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you're obsessed with yourself, and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily.”
