Success tips from world's top management guru

January 15, 2009

  • Why don't people have economic opportunities? Because there's no information. You don't know what the price of fish is in the next village. The large-company Internet business models, the Internet poor, the new business models -- they're one big circle. They all interact with one another. But we have to make this a business issue.

  • A commitment to lead in the creation of new opportunities -- an opportunity-led management system -- is critical. Most often, managers change in reaction to a crisis or a problem, not in search of opportunities

  • People are intelligent enough to know what they are getting and not getting.

  • The greater the angst of sales and marketing managers over the decision to sell core products to outsiders, the more likely it is that the firm's in-house channels are less efficient than alternate distribution channels

  • How to distinguish non-core capabilities from core competence? In the broadest terms, a company many have 40 or more primary skills, but only 5-15 core competencies. Senior management has to focus on which competencies are at the centre of their business.
