Unlikely Business Lessons
Posted by thatsinthebook on 10th August 2010
A very interesting audio podcast from The Economist on a few things that for profits can learn from not for profits.
In particular:
- What is the company vision - make sure all are aligned
- Feel what you do matters
- Find what it is that separates you from the rest (the best, the only, the X)
- Treat people as an asset
- Align with a cause (if there is a choice between you and another, customers are likely to go with the company aligned to a cause)
- Open up your numbers (very motivating)
- Say thank you.
Well worth a listen - the podcast can be found on The Economist website. Or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.
