“Hire good people, and leave them alone.”:

 - *3M's Evolutionary Progress:*  McKnight’s (Chairman of the Board) approach was captured in phrases that would be chanted often by 3Mers throughout its history: “Listen to anyone with an original idea, no matter how absurd it might sound at first.” “Encourage; don’t nitpick. Let people run with an idea.” “Hire good people, and leave them alone.” “If you put fences around people, you get sheep. Give people the room they need.” “Encourage experimental doodling.” “Give it a try—and quick!” Pg 342, Built to last, Jim Collins & Jerry Porras. Source: received through WhatsApp message
