Have you ever heard of Goldman Sachs' 15-minute rule at Goldman Sachs?It means you have to respond to an email in 15 minutes or less no matter what. It doesn't matter if you:- showering- hiking in the mountains- attending your son's wedding- saving someone from a drowning vehicleUnreasonable? Heck yeah.Borderline toxic? Most likely.The perfect recipe for burnout? You bet.It doesn't mean you should do it (I certainly wouldn't) but this practice exists.The embodiment of the Time Kills All Deals attitude.Other companies have their own "unreasonable" practices. Zappos Family of Companies has a 365-day return policyStarbucks offers a free drink if it's not perfectPatagonia has their Ironclad Guarantee repair serviceThe Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. allows their employees to spend up to $2,000 to solve a customer problem without approvalOnce the product quality isn't a differentiating factor, the customer service and relationships are. What makes you different?

It seems to me that in most industries quality is not a differentiating factor - yet in most companies they act as if quality is the ONLY differentiating factor. The companies you listed think out of the (quality) box when positioning themselves.

Speed is absolutely critical in business development. You don't have to have the full answer, just the acknowledgement that your customer is heard and that you are on the case.One organization shared they had a 2,000% increase in win rate whenever they were able to respond within 5 minutes of an inquiry. That's stuck with me since!

Starbucksoffers a free drink if it's not perfect? I wasn't aware of this. I could have had many free drinks by now.

    217 initial investors turned down the founder of Starbucks.💡 When you aspire to do something revolutionary, you will face a lot of rejection.But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pursue your vision. If Howard Schultz didn’t persist through all of this rejection, the coffee industry in America would be radically different than it is today.So, what’s the secret to persisting? 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

    Every business has a purpose, but most don't use it to its full potential as a resource. Purpose is not an end goal, but a spectrum that requires continuous work and every business falls somewhere on it. 🌟 MaryLee SachsSachs, M. 2020. “Purpose Is a Spectrum – Where Does Your Company Fall?”, http://brandingmag.com#mindshifters #employeepurpose #employeeengagement #talentdevelopment #human #purpose #culture #value

    By incorporating the many different roles that purpose plays into every aspect of the internal and external dealings of a business, purpose champions use purpose to full effect – but that doesn’t negate the value of falling anywhere along the spectrum at all. ✨ What matters most is that businesses use purpose to guide their actions and have a better understanding of what success means for themselves. 🚀 🌟 MaryLee SachsSachs, M. 2020. “Purpose Is a Spectrum – Where Does Your Company Fall?”, http://brandingmag.com#mindshifters #employeepurpose #employeeengagement #talentdevelopment #human #purpose #culture #value

    Why do people buy from you?Clue: it has nothing to do with Ideal Customer Profiles.People buy from people with:💠 Credibility💠 Trust💠 Likeability Credibility and trust are non-negotiable.You can borrow credibility:💠 People spoke to me when I worked at Goldman Sachs💠 They had to speak to Goldman Sachs💠 I rode on brand coat-tailsBut you cannot borrow trust.I learned the importance of trust in 2006:💠 Working for myself💠 Building in my front room💠 Learning to market and sell💠 And to be credible without a big brandI apply those lessons today.I'm successful when I live by my valuesAnd keep my word to myselfAs much as to others.I know then I am trustworthy and credible.P.S. How do you measure your success?

    Unlock Your True WealthToday, I want to remind you of an often-overlooked definition of wealth."Wealth is the ability of one's capacity to think and execute." This is not just about the financial accumulation of wealth but also signifies the profound power of our minds and actions.True wealth lies in the clarity of thought and the decisiveness of our actions. It's about envisioning a future, making informed decisions, and acting upon them with conviction. The real treasure is your innovative ideas, strategic thinking, and the relentless pursuit of your goals.Every successful idea begins with a thought in the mind. When you harness the full potential of your thoughts and channel them into meaningful actions, you unlock unparalleled wealth. This is the wealth that can transform industries, create value for society, and lead to sustainable success.Case Study: Howard Schultz and Starbucks (I know our thinking, not another Starbucks case study lol)Take, for instance, Howard Schultz, the mind behind Starbucks' transformation from a small Seattle coffee shop into a global phenomenon. Schultz's wealth was not in the initial financial investment; it was in his vision and execution. He saw the potential for a third place between work and home, a place for community and connection, all centred around coffee.Schultz's journey was not just about selling coffee; it was about creating an experience, a culture. Despite numerous setbacks, including being turned down by banks 242 times, Schultz's clarity of vision and persistence in execution paid off. Today, Starbucks stands as a testament to the wealth that can be generated by thinking differently and acting boldly.As busy business leaders, you are in a unique position to create wealth beyond measure, not just for yourselves, but for your employees, customers, and communities. It all starts in the mind. Dream big, plan strategically, and execute with all your might.The true measure of wealth is not only found in your bank account but in the impact of your ideas and the boldness of your actions. So, think richly, execute wisely, and watch the true wealth unfold.#ThinkExecuteWealth #InnovativeLeadership #StrategicWealth♻️ PLEASE help share the post 🙏https://lnkd.in/ejUu7ffT

    Interesting discussion today on a webinar lead by The Ivey Academy on hiring and training programs being organized more proactively around neurodiversity in the workplace. All types of employees can contribute to the corporate culture, which increasingly becomes the defining feature of success or failure of a business, which this week's forced merger of a once notable Swiss banking powerhouse, Credit Suisse with UBS bears out. #hiring #businessleadership #culture #diversitymatters
