Douglas Conant Quotes

Extroverts may get places faster, but for introverts it’s all about working at the pace you need and, at the end of the day, performing at your best Picture Quote #1
Most people think of leaders as being these outgoing, very visible, and charismatic people, which I find to be a very narrow perception. The key challenge for managers today is to get beyond the surface of your colleagues. You might just find that you have introverts embedded within your organization who are natural-born leaders Picture Quote #1
Ultimately as a leader, you’re evaluated on how you interact with people. If you do it well, you develop a reputation as effective leader. If you don’t, you develop a reputation for being a highly ineffective leader Picture Quote #1
If you cultivate a relationship in a genuine, thoughtful way, people will be more inclined to want to help you even though they don’t have to help you Picture Quote #1
Integrity means having the courage to do what is right, and what is aligned with your values, no matter the situation Picture Quote #1
The corporate world has the resources to improve the world. It’s where people live and work Picture Quote #1

Most people that derail as leaders in the corporate world, it’s not because they couldn’t do the math and calculate return on investment properly. The issues are communication and understanding. All of what typically would’ve been called the ‘soft stuff.’ You have to be authentic. You have to be dialed into the soft stuff Picture Quote #1
If you have people who are high-performing working for you, it’s so easy to do your job. Otherwise, you can’t even agree on the time of the meeting or who will bring the coffee Picture Quote #1
When I arrived at Campbell on January 8, 2001, the company had lost half its market value in the prior year. They had to cut costs to the point where they were literally taking the chicken out of chicken noodle soup and the product was no longer competitive Picture Quote #1
On a personal level, I send out about 20 thank-you notes a day to staffers, on all levels. And every six weeks I have lunch with a group of a dozen or so employees, to get their perspective on the business, to address problems and to get feedback Picture Quote #1
The packaged food business environment is very Darwinian. You’re fighting for survival every year; you evolve and grow or you die. It’s really that simple Picture Quote #1
People lead complicated lives and aren’t hanging on your every word or the company mission statement. You have to become a broken record of your expectations of the organization and show people why it is relevant and how it works in specific ways Picture Quote #1

I would assert that highly effective leaders are made more than they’re born. Every leader I know who’s been highly effective has worked hard at it, and they’ve been students of it. The more you’re a student of leadership, the more you figure out what works for you and the more effective you’re going to be Picture Quote #1
Often leaders have the best intentions, but people cannot read their minds. That’s why it’s important to declare yourself: Tell people why you choose to lead and the code you live by Picture Quote #1
I have a foundational belief that business results start with culture and your people Picture Quote #1
You must bring great resolve to your work. It’s not all a bed of roses Picture Quote #1
Courage means feeling all those hard human emotions - all that uncertainty and anxiety - and getting the job done anyway Picture Quote #1
My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother’s Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife’s Midwestern roots; the Campbell’s green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie Picture Quote #1

Trust gives you the permission to give people direction, get everyone aligned, and give them the energy to go get the job done. Trust enables you to execute with excellence and produce extraordinary results. As you execute with excellence and deliver on your commitments, trust becomes easier to inspire, creating a flywheel of performance Picture Quote #1
The time to build a network is always before you need one Picture Quote #1
The action is in the interaction Picture Quote #1
You can’t talk your way out of something you behaved your way into. You have to behave your way out of it Picture Quote #1
The corporate world has the resources to improve the world. It’s where people live and work Picture Quote #1
If you cultivate a relationship in a genuine, thoughtful way, people will be more inclined to want to help you even though they don’t have to help you Picture Quote #1

Leadership does take work. And it should. If you aspire to be a leader, you ought to treat leadership as a craft, you ought to become a student of it, and you ought to work at it. And if you’re not willing to work at it, well, you get what you give Picture Quote #1
Learning to celebrate success is a key component of learning how to win in the market Picture Quote #1
Even a brief interaction can change the way people think about themselves, their leaders, and the future. Each of those many connections you make has the potential to become a high point or a low point in someone’s day Picture Quote #1
Ultimately as a leader, you’re evaluated on how you interact with people. If you do it well, you develop a reputation as effective leader. If you don’t, you develop a reputation for being a highly ineffective leader Picture Quote #1
