This new edition of Bud Carter's popular "Pithy Business Quotes"---now called "The Best Way to Keep a Good Employee Is to Fire a Bad One"---contains six times as many quotes as the last edition. Bud Carter’s fascination with quotes likely started when he was the publisher and editor of an issues-and-business weekly newspaper that featured a topical quote on the front page of each issue. His newspaper career followed a career in broadcast media, first as an award-winning radio news director and then as a TV anchorman. Once in Atlanta, he was recruited to become Vistage’s first chairman and soon began collecting the “salient snippets” shared by the speakers appearing before his groups. Since the 1987 startup, Carter and his members have heard more than 1,000 speaker presentations, and he has now published sixteen editions of their pithy quotes.
