Our managers need to have a strong integration of managerial skills and technical understanding. One cannot substitute for the other.

To have strongly integrated managers who have a deep understanding of technology is a rare and difficult combination to build. You have to invest a lot in selecting and training these people.

You have got the right strategy, the right geography; you have got the right customers. You need to prioritise them better; we need to grow them better, mind them better. We need to give more value to them, and we need to execute a lot of areas in the organisation where we are not executing.

You need a commitment which is long term and a commitment to leadership, because that's the only way you build excellence.

I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.

My father's politics did not influence mine. In fact, we disagreed on a fair amount of stuff.

With control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, Republicans could have used their unified control of government to... balance the budget!

There are now two Syrias. One is run by men who fight for God, not democracy. The other is ruled by a secular but authoritarian regime accused of many crimes against its people. The choice between the two will not be decided at the polls.
