通往CEO辦公室的道路不應(yīng)經(jīng)過CFO辦公室，也不應(yīng)經(jīng)過營(yíng)銷部門。它需要經(jīng)過工程和設(shè)計(jì)。
Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time.

Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
