Creating a Culture of High Performance

“I had a big impact as a leader before I became the chairman (of Caterpillar) because of the teaming way we run our company. Many of my colleagues now have a big impact on the company that I'm chairman of, and one of them will carry on and take it to a new level, I hope well beyond what I've been able to deliver.”

—James W. Owens
—Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Caterpillar Inc.

“...it allows you to withstand economic challenges, geo-political things, getting an element of strategy wrong, making a couple of strategies bets that are off the mark because people don't lose faith in the enterprise and its mission and its goals.”

—William D. Green
—Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Accenture
