William Hewlett Quotations


   

American Businessman
(May 20, 1913 - January 12, 2001)

 


"Men and women want to do a good job, a creative job, and if they are provided the proper environment, they will do so."


"Rules of the Garage: Believe you can change the world. Work quickly, keep the tools unlocked, work whenever. Know when to work alone and when to work together. Share - tools, ideas. Trust your colleagues. No politics. No bureaucracy. (These are ridiculous in a garage.) The customer defines a job well done. Radical ideas are not bad ideas. Invent different ways of working. Make a contribution every day. If it doesn't contribute, it doesn't leave the garage. Believe that together we can do anything."


"We felt this work force should be able to share to some extent in the progress of the company."
