What do the best businesses share in common?

Posted: July 23rd, 2009 | Filed under: insights | Tags: | 1 Comment »

I believe that there are 8 things you will find in all of the best businesses in the world.

Aim to be the best
Have a crystal-clear idea of what they strive every day to be the best in the world at.

Have a Guiding Vision
A goal that everyone believes in, and is playing their unique part in making happen.

Believe in talent
In creating an environment for people to do their best work ever.

Create strong cultures
Ones in which entrepreneurialism, creativity and team-work are encouraged and rewarded.

Never neglect delivery
Understand that delivery – both excellence and value-for-money – are basics that can never be neglected.

Commercialism runs throughout
Everyone lives the mantra of “control costs” but management spend wisely to generate business advantage.

Never stop moving
Are never satisfied with where they are, and always want to be ridiculously better and more successful than their competitors.

    Hi Magnus.

    Interesting

    Two questions
    1) How are you defining ‘best’?
    2) What businesses would you use as examples – or at least what companies did you look at to come to these thoughts?
