Business is a team sport.
From Greg Brenneman
It's all about having a product that you're proud of and coming to work every day. Those basic building blocks are the same in any business.
It's hard for the same people who put you in the ditch to pull you out of it.
The whole concept of treating people with dignity and respect is a concept that isn't a business concept, it's a life concept. It's who you are at the end of the day.
The most important thing is that you treat everybody incredibly well and lead with a bit of humility. I've found that when I go into a company to lead, it's important to have a plan and to make that plan a simple one that everybody can understand.
Burger King's business model was broken. But it was like sex in the '50s. Everyone knew it, but no one would talk about it.
I don't like Las Vegas. I'd rather be mountain biking or climbing.
Being a consultant is like flying first-class. The food is terrific, the drinks are cold. But all you can do is walk up to the pilot and say, 'bank left.' If you're in management, you have the controls.
What you can do is ask: 'What is the value to the customer? What are they willing to pay for?' Then, deliver great products and services.
If you have a chance of working for a healthy company or a sick one, choose the sick one. The sickest ones need the best doctors and it's a lot easier to stand out in a company that needs help.
