Leonard Lauder's Best Quotes on Leadership, Competition and Product Invention
Leonard A. Lauder, who passed away at the age of 92 on Saturday, was celebrated not just for being a pioneer in prestige beauty, but a lifelong teacher to those who worked alongside him. During his storied career, which spanned 60-plus years, Lauder built both the Estée Lauder Cos. into a global powerhouse — with more than 20 brands and products selling in 150 countries and territories — but equally as important was his talent in cultivating leaders. Lauder often said his favorite role was as chief teaching officer, and he loved to share information. Those who know him best often remark on the wit and wisdom he imparted daily — including in the pages of WWD and Beauty Inc, where he was frequently interviewed. Here, some of his most memorable quotes from our pages. More from WWD Leonard Lauder, Legendary Beauty Executive, Dies at 92 How Last Year's Cherry Cola Hair Trend Is Unleashing Animal-inspired Coloring in 2025 The 16 Best Hair Styling Tools, Tested and Reviewed by Editors 'We are female oriented…we have developed a marvelous team of fashion conscious and capable women. But we maintain a careful balance. Even our men learn to apply makeup — and everyone is customer subjected. Everyone must sell behind the counter to understand the customer's needs.' 'Our designs, our shades, even our color names appear in copies almost as soon as we launch the new products. We used to count on a three- to five-year run on a product before it was copied. Now they have it in less than three months. But if we have a good product, all of the knockoffs in the world can't harm its long-range success.' 'The '60s was the decade of makeup, the '70s saw tremendous increases in fragrance and now is the time for women's skin care.' 'The stores have too many lines, too many products and too many units. You always want what the other guy has.' 'It's always easier to make money when there are people who have money to buy your products.' 'I made it a point to hire the best people available either inside the industry or outside. I knew that great people build great companies.' 'I'm the guy who winds the clock. The clock ticks on, whether I'm here or not. But once in a while you have to wind that clock.' 'There's a wonderful line in 'The Great Gatsby' about large parties: 'They're so intimate.' Perhaps the upside of the enlarged scale of our business is that we do have room to maneuver. We can afford to experiment by finding an intimate corner to test new ideas. What goes on in those intimate corners can have little consequence for a swell party or add just the touch of passion and magic it needs.' 'Great ballplayers know where the ball is going to be. That's how they catch it. I know where the ball is going to be.' 'My passion for this business is not to make more money, because I have more than enough money for the next five lifetimes. The passion is to build something great that can be conserved also. There is a parallel as to what I do with my art and what happens with our company.' 'To be a great leader, you firstly have to like people. If you don't like people, at the end of the day they will figure this out and you can't lead them too well.' 'In another life, I would be a gardener. Gardeners love to watch things grow and help them grow. I'm really a gardener in drag.' 'Lesson number one — people don't work for money, they work for recognition.' 'Always get there first — if you get there first, you'll win.' 'I believe life is like a mosaic — red tile, green tile, gold tile, silver tile — and it all adds up to the image of the world.' 'Anyone who says they can have their finger on the pulse of tomorrow for life is wrong. The challenge is to keep up every day. You have to read and you have to travel. You have to see what is going on in the world.' 'Never forget quality. Don't try to chisel, don't try to do it on the cheap. If you can't do a great product, don't do it. If you launch a product and think maybe you shouldn't have done it — pull it off the market.…You can make a mistake when you are learning to dance — which I always do — but you can't make a mistake when making a product for people to use.

Celsius shares can rally more than 30% as growth story is 'heating back up,' TD Cowen says in upgrade
Celsius' growth story is back, according to TD Cowen, on the strength of its position in women's energy drinks. Analyst Robert Moskow upgraded Celsius to buy from hold, and raised his price target, saying that an improvement in sales and a creative new direction from management has reinvigorated the energy drink company. His price target, hiked to $55 from $37, implies more than 30% upside from Friday's close of $41.16. The stock was last up more than 3% in extended trading. "We upgrade CELH to Buy and raise our PT to $55," Moskow wrote Monday in a note called "Celsius' growth story is heading back up.' "We believe the stock will continue to trade higher this year as the Celsius brand returns to growth, the Alani Nu integration progresses smoothly, and investors look ahead to distribution expansion in 2026 and beyond." "We recognize uncertainties about the Alani Nu brand longer-term," he added. "But the favorable price paid reduces the risk." CELH 1D mountain Celsius Holdings, over one day Celsius shares have surged this year, rallying more than 56%. That comes after the stock's disappointing performance in 2024 when it plunged more than 50% as Wall Street firms including TD Cowen worried the energy drink company had lost its momentum. Since then, however, an improvement in sales that's expected to continue through the summer, as well as new innovative products within the Celsius brand, have helped strengthen the brand. Celsius' acquisition of health and wellness brand Alani Nu can also help it build on its position as the No. 3 brand in the U.S. energy drink category, the analyst said. "We believe management has course-corrected execution on the Celsius brand with strong innovation (Retro Vibe, Playa Vibe, Strawberry Passionfruit), nationwide expansions for last year's retail exclusives (Watermelon Lemonade, Cherry Cola), and marketing efforts like the recent " campaign to expand the appeal of the brand beyond its core fitnessfocused audience," the analyst wrote. TD Cowen is not the only firm to grow bullish on Celsius in recent months. In March, Truist analyst Bill Chappell upgraded the stock to buy from hold, and hiked his price target, saying the Alani Nu acquisition can help Celsius "corner" the women's market . On Feb. 21, Celsius shares popped 25% on strong quarterly earnings results, as well as acquiring health and wellness company Alani Nu.

Star singer to perform at Gaelic Grounds as warm-up for mouth-watering Munster final between Cork & Limerick
GAVIN James will set the scene for Saturday's Munster final spectacular by playing a 40-minute warm-up set. There is the distinct possibility that Limerick are "in the heads" of their Cork foes considering they 3 Once again the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick will play host to the rivals 3 Gavin James is set to serve as the warm-up act before hurling takes centre stage And ahead of Saturday's 6pm throw-in Limerick GAA has announced that Dublin singer-songwriter James will get the occasion going from 4.35pm. "Gates will open on Saturday June 7 at 4pm. "Honing his performing and song writing gifts as a busker and pub performer in Dublin, to sold out world tours, Gavin's come a long way. Read More On GAA "James has built a community of fans that have seen his music streamed three billion times across the globe and earn diamond and platinum records in multiple countries. "He has also sold more than 250,000 tickets (and counting) worldwide with a live show that is as transporting as it is uplifting. "This June, James returns with a new single 'Cherry Cola', a precursor to a new album of original material that he's recording in a studio on a mountain outside his home city of Dublin." Earlier this week, Tipperary great Patrick 'Bonner' Maher Most read in GAA Hurling Speaking at the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Championship launch, he said: 'I think Cork should come back. They'll have a bit of a bite after what happened in the last game. 'I'm hoping for a classic Munster final, fire and brimstone, where two teams go hammer-and-tongs at each other. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - 'It's going to be a hard one to call. Both of them are going to go hard at each other and see where the pieces fall. 'Judging on the last day, you'd say Limerick are one or two points ahead. 'But I wouldn't write off Cork because those boys are well able to play.' Limerick, who have won five All-Irelands and six Munster titles since 2018, are often placed in opposition to Brian Cody's four-in-a-row Kilkenny crop in debates over the greatest hurling team of all time. 3 Maher at the 2025 Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championship launch Credit: Inpho Maher came up against John Kiely's Limerick on several occasions in the latter half of his career, having also been part of the Tipp side who scuppered the Cats' quest for a fifth consecutive Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2010. But the three-time All-Ireland winner said: 'It's very hard to compare a team in one period to a team in the current period. 'There are so many variables, it's hard to say if they're as good or better than that Kilkenny team. 'I was lucky enough, or unlucky enough, to play against both. For their time and their moment playing, they're the best team that's there at that moment. 'I wouldn't compare against the Kilkenny team because they were a different animal and that was in their time. They're two serious outfits.'
