Andrew Carnegie: Achieving Superlative Human Performance

Andrew Carnegie's Thoughts on How to Get the Best Out of an Employee.

​“There lie latent unsuspected powers in willing men [and women] around us which only need appreciation and development to produce surprising results. Money rewards alone will not however insure these, for to the most sensitive and ambitious natures there must be the note of sympathy, appreciation, friendship.

​"Genius is sensitive in all its forms, and it is unusual ability—not ordinary ability, that tells [achieves results]. You must capture and keep the 'heart' of the original and supremely able man [or woman] before his [or her] brain can do its best.”
