- Gary Ryan Blair

"Either you wake up, get serious, and change your behavior, or pay the consequences of your own ignorance." - Gary Ryan Blair

If you have any plans on being competitive, then quality in the broadest sense of the term must become an obsession." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Dynamic, sustainable results will only be achieved through an obsession with quality." - Gary Ryan Blair
"High achievers are essentially scientists whose laboratories happen to be the kitchen, athletic field, courtroom, classroom, and boardroom. They test assumptions, experiment with new concepts and ideas, and search through the minutia looking for the needle in the haystack that can take lead to a breakthrough and competitive edge. In the pursuit of quality, high achievers bring an approach to work that is methodical, pragmatic and demanding. Because these individuals only want to produce results of the highest quality, their personal standards are relentless and uncompromising." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Quality comes from putting your heart and soul into your work. It is lovingly doing all of the things that bring out your absolute best. The word 'love' is appropriate because it is precisely right in both the meaning and the feeling that it carries. Do all things lovingly; that is the secret to quality." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Complexity whether in product design, decision-making or any daily function is to be avoided at all costs. Complexity is the curse of the digital age. It is a type of intellectual pollution that smothers clear thought and which has direct negative benefits on worker productivity, customer delight, and corporate profitability." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Achieving absolute simplicity is something none of us will ever achieve.
However if we don't make some concerted effort, if we don't train ourselves to look for ways to simplify, we can guarantee our lives will become more complex, busier, less efficient and more stressful." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Leadership is all about one enduring quality, character. Popularity is temporary, change is often unpredictable, and interest rates always fluctuate, but only character endures, it is the one true constant." - Gary Ryan Blair

"People have an indisputable, divine right to expect and demand good character and exemplary conduct from their leaders. The true test and strength of an enterprise is not to be found in their products or services, but in the character of its leaders. The character of the leader is the conscience of the community." - Gary Ryan Blair

"In order to fully understand diversity and equality one must see humanity in terms of both its similarities and differences. Humans share innate traits, which unify us at the most basic level." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Success is neither magical nor mysterious, it's neither complex nor confusing. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. - Gary Ryan Blair

From accounting to astrophysics, education to engineering, fly-fishing to firefighting, computer programming to construction, rock climbing to rocket science, and from raising kids to raising capital, all consist of fundamental principles and each fundamental counts." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Meticulous attention to details, focusing on superior quality, proper preparation and planning, well crafted strategy, consistency of purpose, flawless execution, exemplary character, uncompromising standards and the discipline to honor each commitment is how we make everything count." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Everything you say; every thought you entertain; and everything you do has a direction, which serves as an advance or a retreat in respect to your pursuit of excellence. Everything, regardless of size or intent, has bottom-line consequences; therefore, everything counts - this is the golden rule of excellence." - Gary Ryan Blair
"The magic behind every outstanding performance is always found in the smallest of details." - Gary Ryan Blair
"If you long to accomplish great and noble tasks, you first must learn to approach every task as though it were great and noble. Even the grandest project depends on the success of the smallest components." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your commitments or you don't. Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to your self and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the direct result of broken commitments. It's that simple, that profound, and that important." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Every day, you make promises and commitments to customers, family members and associates. Some are explicit, others implied, but each one ultimately results in success or failure." - Gary Ryan Blair

Throughout history, great accomplishments have begun with the vision of a single individual." - Gary Ryan Blair
"There is no purer form of success; no more exact and demanding test of what you are capable of, than to achieve a desirable outcome. A quality life is an example of what can be accomplished when thoughtful attention, goal setting and purposeful action come together without compromise." - Gary Ryan Blair
"The thing that makes goal setting both exciting and important is the results achieved because of it. But the ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them, for what you become, you'll soon find, is so much more important than the goal itself." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Innovation is a lot like excellence in any endeavor. It's difficult but manageable to do once and infinitely harder to produce consistently. Think about all those one-hit-wonders that had a single record or very possibly a single song. They disappear without a trace. What distinguishes a true star from his or her contemporaries is an ability to pull off feats of brilliance repeatedly." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Rewards provide an effective but uncomplicated means for reinforcing quality behaviors. They not only serve to honor the accomplishments of exceptional individual or team performance, they bolster and endorse the specific actions, behaviors and values that you are striving to put in place." - Gary Ryan Blair
"The effective use of speed is critical competitive weapon. You must learn to move fast or become history, as everything you do increases your competitive position or moves you one step closer to being competitive toast." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Lifelong learning rests upon the twin principles of personal development and social service. The social and economic development of a country, a company, and a community is increasingly dependent upon the knowledge and skills of its citizens in the global knowledge economy." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Everything we do and say ultimately arises from and reveals our character.
In addition to a proper concern for improving our own character, we should also care for the character of others. While charisma and skill may lubricate the wheels of progress, true success comes from developing character." - Gary Ryan Blair
"One of the first rules of common sense is that we can learn from other people's successes and mistakes. We all play the role of both teacher and student throughout our lives. Every person you come into contact with provides a lesson in living, if you will only be aware enough to learn." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Being "world-class" has nothing to do with size, education, or bloodline; it has everything to do with decision, commitment, action, and persistence.
Excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates, respects, and demonstrates hard work and good judgment." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Every choice counts. There are no insignificant choices, no neutral actions. Even the smallest decision has a bottom line consequence, leading you toward or away from your goals." - Gary Ryan Blair
"Choices are the meat of your daily diet. Your quality of life is a direct reflection of the quality of the choices you've made up to this moment. But most of all, good choices move you to desirable actions. Your life immediately points "true north" when you begin making choices that lead you toward your goals." - Gary Ryan Blair
"One of the most virtuous aspects of moral courage is that it can be practiced by anyone regardless of age, gender, physical ability, or surroundings.

By focusing on what we can contribute, we automatically become successful." - Gary Ryan Blair
"The definition of a success must include a contribution into the lives of other people. The heroes and heroines worthy of emulation are those who, day to day, moment to moment, enrich our lives. Their contribution; their imprint upon our lives is enduring and indelible." - Gary Ryan Blair
