Jim’s personal philosophy includes several lessons he’s learned the hard way: 1) results are only in the marketplace, 2) there are no answers, only choices, 3) becoming is more powerful than being, 4) nothing beats honest to goodness teamwork, 5) you can do well by doing good, and 6) the most elusive thing in business is to achieve ‘alignment’.
