24
00:01:05,585 --> 00:01:08,876
Management does not have a monopoly on good ideas.

25

00:01:20,953 --> 00:01:23,654
family, health and happiness.

30
00:01:23,654 --> 00:01:28,312
Balance in all these things means a better and more productive work day.

31
00:01:28,312 --> 00:01:31,818

At all times, conduct yourself with integrity

35
00:01:38,746 --> 00:01:41,375
