Top-down hierarchies are the business structure for the longest time, and though it is already tried and tested, such a model may cause unhealthy employee competition and untargeted work. Because of this, Rod Collins believes that leaders must start applying a network structure within their teams. The Chief Innovation Facilitator at Salt Flats sits down with Dr. Tracey Jones to discuss how this specific business model gives room for deeper collaborative work, better employee relationships, and streamlined tasking.

“I’d talk with him whenever I could, get him to believing that the success of the business depended on his efforts. And, Bradford—I’d give that man so much work to do that he would have no time to loaf on his job, no time to find temptations, and no time for temptations to find him. I’d make work for him—to keep him going hard. Then if there was anything in him, it would crop out.”
“I have every confidence in you. It’s a great thing to have the confidence of the boss. I’m going to be a hard boss, for I have your interest at heart. If you know this, and realize this, I believe you will succeed. After all, the success of any business depends on the boss and his relations with his employees.”
“And in this story of my rise, you may find the secret of success. If you have not succeeded, it is your own fault.”
“You are the boss of your self, of the Super-self, the inner man who waits to serve you.”

Quotes from As A Man Thinketh:
Your character is the sum of your thoughts; man is made or unmade by himself.
Forget the weapons that destroy yourself or craft the tools that build your earthly and heavenly mansion.
Thought and character are one.
Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.
A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts.
A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.
You cannot travel within and stand still without.
You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

Quotes from Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwell:
I know I am right; that the men and women sitting here, who found it difficult perhaps to buy a ticket to this lecture or gathering to-night, have within their reach “acres of diamonds,” opportunities to get largely wealthy.
I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich.
“Oh,” but says some young man here to-night, “I have been told all my life that if a person has money he is very dishonest and dishonorable and mean and contemptible.” My friend, that is the reason why you have none, because you have that idea of people.
Money is power, and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it. You ought because you can do more good with it than you could without it.
While we should sympathize with God’s poor—that is, those who cannot help themselves—let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings, or by the shortcomings of someone else.
The man who says, “I cannot carry my religion into business” advertises himself either as being an imbecile in business, or on the road to bankruptcy, or a thief, one of the three, sure.
You cannot trust a man with your money who cannot take care of his own.
I have no more right to sell goods without making a profit on them than I have to overcharge him dishonestly beyond what they are worth.
The moment a young man or woman gets more money than he or she has grown to by practical experience, that moment he has gotten a curse.
It is no help to your children to leave them money, but if you leave them education, if you leave
them Christian and noble character, if you leave them a wide circle of friends, if you leave them an honorable name, it is far better than that they should have money.
