    David Farr, CEO of Emerson Electric, on Business Success

    For a company to stay viable and relevant, you have to continuously rebuild.

    Do not be afraid of taking on challenges that you think are far beyond what you can do. Take on that risk. Do it.

    In the manufacturing world, energy is our highest cost.

    Government doesn’t understand what it takes to invest.

    Develop the best people around you. Never compromise with people.
