Management gems from Richard Branson

October 3, 2008

'Business opportunities are like buses'

  • A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
  • Business is giving people in their lifetime what they need and what they want. And you know, I've had great fun turning quite a lot of different industries on their head and making sure those industries will never be the same again, because Virgin went in and took them on. Occasionally we'll come unstuck and you know, we'll learn from our mistakes but so far I think we've managed to get it right more often than we've got it wrong.
  • Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.
  • I believe in benevolent dictatorship, provided I am the dictator.
