If you're head elephant, you have to do all kinds of tasks you might not want to do... If you don't do your chores, the herd won't succeed... No task is too menial even vacuuming up peanut shells.

I love having my hooves in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.

There are two kinds of hives, those that work to try to charge more for their honey and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.

If you're trying to create a herd, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion, and don't have donut Fridays because that throws everyone off from the sugar high.

Discipline comes with turning that cellphone off and unplugging completely. You do that and you go through some withdrawals. You forget that we were doing just fine with just moose calls.

The path to the Head Elephant's office should not be through the peanut counters office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

My biggest mistake is probably weighing too much on an elephant's talent and not an elephant's personality. I think it matters whether an elephant has a good heart.

I don't believe in process. In fact, when I interview a potential elephant and he or she says that it's all about the process, I see that as a bad sign. At a lot of big herds, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You're encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep elephants who aren't that smart, who aren't that creative.

Eat like hell. I mean you just have to eat twice as fast as the other herds. If other herds are eating 8 to 12 hours and you're eating twice as fast, then even if you're eating the same amount you will have more time for innovation.
