Business of Business is People: Herb Kelleher
via youtube.com
Still one of the great inspirations for people thinking beyond 'business as usual'.
“The business of business is people, today, tomorrow and forever”
- Internal customers (employees) come first
- If you honour, respect care for, protect and reward your employees
- They will treat each other and your external customers with warmth, caring and hospitality
- These customers will return “thus bringing joy to shareholders”
- Humanistic philosophy
- Intangibles (psychic satisfaction) is highly valued by employees and customers
- Tangibles can be purchased, intangibles are difficult to emulate
- Culture #1 corporate responsibility
